WildFire Precogs

Problem

Wildfires annually ravage millions of acres, costing billions and outpacing prevention efforts due to inefficient fuel load estimation methods.

Approach

The team utilized a human-centric design to work closely with forest experts, focusing on user needs to enhance an application that streamlines the photoloading process with advanced image recognition, refined through iterative testing and feedback in actual forest environments.

Solution

The proposed solution enhances photoloading by ensuring high-quality image capture and utilizing AI for a comparison mode that matches photos with a reference database, improving fuel type identification and estimation.
