Found hours ago, and coincidentally while on these pages words were spend on the nature of AI. At Tourrettes-sur-Loup (Alpes-Maritimes), five high-resolution cameras have been installed to identify incipent wildfires through visual pattern recognition. Each camera inspects an 82° cone in the scenery, with sufficient resolution to examine at a distance of up to 15km. (The three cameras dedicated to long distance monitoring cover an area of 700km².) Images are shot every 5 seconds, and are checked in automation to detect smoke. Upon positives it sends alerts to firefighters and the major.
