Abstract
This work deals with the problem of remote monitoring of forest areas in hard-to-reach places for early detection of fires. The analysis of methods and technologies of automation of this process is carried out, including the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and neural network algorithms for detecting flames and smoke on images obtained from remote operational monitoring cameras. A solution is proposed for organizing wireless communication and transmitting information to operational response centers based on a prototype of an energy-efficient ad-hoc network, which can be used under conditions of limitations imposed by terrain topography, remoteness and size of the territory, and allows for taking into account weather conditions and various geographical features of the region where video surveillance is being organized. The paper presents the results of testing both the prototype of the entire fire detection information system and the throughput of the ad-hoc network created during the research. Conclusions are drawn about the prospects for the development of the proposed hardware and software complex.
