I. Introduction

With the intensification of global climate change and human activities, forest fires have become an increasingly severe natural disaster. Traditional forest fire patrol methods are often constrained by complex terrain, insufficient human resources, and limited visibility, making it difficult to achieve round-the-clock, comprehensive monitoring of vast forest areas. The rapid advancement of drone technology offers an innovative solution for forest fire prevention. Our company is dedicated to designing a forest fire prevention inspection system based on drone technology. By leveraging drones' high-altitude perspective, rapid response capabilities, and intelligent analysis functions, we achieve efficient and precise monitoring of forest areas.

 

This solution comprises key components including a drone platform, smart airport, remote dispatch platform, and data processing and analysis system. The drone platform is equipped with advanced sensors such as high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and gas detectors. Through the smart airport, it enables automated takeoff, landing, charging, and storage of drones. The remote dispatch platform handles mission planning, flight control, and data transmission functions. The data processing and analysis system performs intelligent analysis on transmitted data to rapidly detect and issue early warnings for fire sources.
