  • Abstract
    Forest fires are serious natural disasters around the world, which will devastate forests heavily and cause enormous financial losses. It has great significance for the application research and development of forest fire monitoring, which improve forecast accuracy of forest fire warning, prepare for forest fire prevention, detect fire point in time, and extinguish the fire fast and efficient. The method mentioned in this paper integrates remote sensing, image recognition, GIS, and remote monitoring technology together, based on the video monitoring images and the MODIS remote sensing data to design a real-time, effective forest fire monitoring system. The coordinates are sent to forest fireproof GIS when the fire point are detected, and then the forest fireproof GIS can search and calculate all the information necessary for fireproof decision-making.
