Abstract

Relations between the accuracy of hotspot determination and the monitoring area of remote forest fire detection systems are considered. The indicated characteristics have a significant effect on the efficiency of the systems considered. The efficiency can be increased by simultaneously using visual monitoring means and automated mapping of forest compartments in the monitored area. Procedures for searching the forest compartment number and determining compartment boundaries are discussed.
