Forest Fire Detection and Prediction – Survey

One of the major environmental concerns is forest fire. Every year million hectares of land are obliterated over the world and causes the environmental damage. Predicting or detecting the timber producing land has become the major concern and basic need to reduce the environmental loss. Advancements and new techniques can be used to detect and predict the forest fire at the earliest to anticipate and recognize backwoods fires. The pattern is to incorporate the intelligence technology to predict and detect the fire at early stage. This paper presents the overview of various prediction and detection techniques that are used to identify the forest fire in various regions, and the different strategies are recognized and evaluated. The various works and method systems are surveyed along with the factors, occurrence of fire and risk factors which are analyzed. The results and principal issues of each article is discussed and analyzed in this paper.
