Deep learning-based wildfire smoke detection tools
Technology Overview
Researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno have developed an early wildfire smoke detection software that uses AI to analyze real-time video from remote camera networks. The system, named Nemo, uses an end-to-end Transformer architecture (based on DETR) to detect small, low-density smoke plumes—often visible only as faint...
