Aalto University Researchers' FireCNN is a Wildfire Prediction Tool
A wildfire prediction tool could be of paramount importance to governments, first responders, and disaster prevention groups—especially since this year, wildfires have been rampant and exasperated as the effects of climate change are becoming seriously felt on a global scale.
Researchers at Aalto University have developed a wildfire prediction tool, using artificial intelligence. Dubbed FireCNN, the technology presents a significant advancement in the realm of wildfire prevention. FireCNN, named after its utilization of "a convolutional neural network (CNN)," is a groundbreaking AI model designed to predict optimal strategies for preventing wildfires. The development is based on a comprehensive analysis of climate data and historical fire incidents in Indonesia's Central Kalimantan province on Borneo. By integrating variables—31 in total—such as land cover, vegetation, and drought conditions, FireCNN provides a multifaceted approach to understanding the complex interplay of factors contributing to wildfires.
