I've read a lot of answers which suggest the usual things that are considered in the wider community, so it is a bit surprising that there are no AI type solutions put forth in this site for hackers.
Surely some way to detect and extinguish the beginnings - where these escape notice far from human eyes and noses - has a coding or robotics solution?
- davidbanham 3y agoYeah a bunch. Satellite monitoring of lightning strikes has been happening for years. We also have hot spot detection from himawari and other satellites. Also very common to have aircraft do FLIR camera runs over the bush on high danger days. A few startups/researchers are looking at distributed sensor arrays with microphones and thermometers to detect ignitions earlier. That’s mostly in plantation forestry at this stage. There’s also some work being done to enable the thermal/linescan flights from drones rather than aircraft. Idea being to bring the cost down and thus coverage up.
