Abstract

While computational model-based wildfire prediction provides reasonable accuracy in predicting wildfire behaviour, they are often limited due to lack of constant availability of real-time data. By contrast, social sensing is an emerging sensing paradigm able to obtain early signs of forest fires from online social media users (e.g. smoke in nearby cities), but suffers from inconsistent reliability due to unreliable social signals. Meanwhile, UAV-based physical sensing utilizes onboard physical sensors to perform reliable wildfire sensing, but requires manual efforts to be narrowed down to fire infested regions. In this poster, we present CompDrone, a novel computational model-driven social media and drone-based wildfire monitoring framework that exploits the collective strengths of computational modeling, social sensing, and drone-based physical sensing for reliable wildfire monitoring. In particular, the CompDrone framework leverages techniques from cellular automata, constrained optimization, and bottom-up game theory to solve a few technical challenges involved in monitoring wildfires. The evaluation results using a real-world forest fire monitoring application show that CompDrone outperforms the state-of-the-art monitoring schemes.
