A Review to Forest Fires and Its Detection Techniques Using Wireless Sensor Network

Recently reported technological growth in wireless sensor network (WSN) has extended its application in various disastrous applications. One of the most concerned issues is the forest fires occurring across the globe. Every year thousands of hectares of forest are burnt in the forest fires occurring due to one or the other reasons. Although numerous attempts have been made for the detection of forest fires at the earliest, there is still scope for the utilization of optimum technique for the same. This paper aims to report a review of taxonomy of some of the significant forest fire detection techniques encountered in the literature so far. Moreover, scenario of the forest fires prevailing in India is also discussed. In this paper, the comprehensive tabular study of the state-of-art techniques is given which will help in the appropriate selection of methods to be employed for the real-time detection of forest fire.
