Researchers have developed an AI system for CubeSat constellations that could speed up forest fire detection through real-time image processing in orbit.
Scientists in Australia hope to harness space technology and artificial intelligence to improve forest fire detection times dramatically.
The result is a system that uses AI to quickly scan images of vast swathes of our planet, quickly detecting early signs of forest fires from outer space. The team’s system detects the very earliest signs of forest fires by continuously capturing hyperspectral images of Australia. The system’s AI model quickly analyzes the images. It rapidly highlights any smoke, allowing for a fast, real-time detection method. Traditionally, Earth observation satellites have not been able to analyze complex images of Earth in real-time.
There, he started working as a lecturer at the University of South Australia, where he worked in geospatial and environmental science ever since. “A few years back, I was involved in a forestry-sponsored research review on wildfire detection and suppression,” he continued. “Our review identified the great potential of CubeSat constellations and AI onboard for fire detection. This is where our research journey with SmartSat-CRC began.”The cost-effective nature of CubeSats, as well as the improved accessibility to space thanks to companies like SpaceX, has helped to open up a whole host of new possibilities.
