چکیده

Resume-This article shows the most usual fire detection and forest extinction application technologies at present. We will see all different methods used by these applications that can be found in the Market and some examples. Also, some basic questions about the most influent parameters when a fire must be extinct are shown. Finally, after having shown all the technologies, we will build a model about an intelligent system which not only detects, but also extinguish wildfires. I.INTRODUCTION Nowadays, Wildfires are one of the most important environmental problems in Mediterranean countries. Yearly, thousand of yards are affected by this problem. In the last few years many projects related to wildfires have been carried out with the same goal: reduce the effects that a forest fire causes. And the trend continues, these projects are becoming more sophisticated and are integrating the latest technology that exists in the market. Most of the projects are dedicated to wildfire detection through image processing and neural nets systems so it allows that forest fires can be monitored, with several predictive models of fire behaviour. Secondly we will show different methods which are the most used to detect forest fires actually and also examples of projects that use these methods. Thirdly, how main factors can determinate the extinction of a forest fire and how those data can be treated automatically to integrate them in a software. Finally we describe the prototype that we want to develop, trying to give details of the technology used and answering why it has been chosen. II.WILDFIRE DETECTION It is important to monitor mountains and forest using an efficient, quick and precise system of detection at the beginning of a forest fire and its location. An expensive system to extinct a forest fire depends on how quickly detects the fire and set up the initial action or soon-attack. In this way we can be surprised if before they grow out of control, if it is not so, it is very difficult and dangerous to extinct it. They spend lot of time determining the exact point, so that the system can provide any information necessary for the operation of automatic choice, in order to get an immediate action or soon-attack The objective is to detect a possible outbreak of fire and to determine its extension as quickly as possible, as well as determining the exact location thereof. Currently there are different types of …
