Wildfire Early Real Time Detection System

Pyronear is a complete fire risk management solution. It consists of an early wildfire detection algorithm, implemented on a microcomputer, connected to cameras positioned on high spots with a view on the forest. The detectors communicate fire alerts to a database that is connected to a supervision platform for fire departments.



Key Features

  • 🧠 Cutting-Edge AI Model: Advanced computer vision models are designed to detect wildfires in real time. These models continuously improve their accuracy through regular retraining with incoming data.
  • 🔥 Web Fire Management Platform: An intuitive web application that showcases recent fire alerts and enhances fire management efficiency for fire departments.
