Detection and Verification of Potential Peat Fire Using Wireless Sensor Network and UAV

this paper proposes an effective technique to quickly detect and monitor peat forest based on wireless sensor network (WSN) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with focusing on their implementation and deployment in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Problems found in monitoring fires in peat lands are that satellites will not detect weak or small fires properly. Moreover, big fire will not easily found in a haze or low visibility. Our WSN contains of miniature sensor nodes to collect environmental data such as temperature, relative humidity, light and barometric pressure, and to transmit more accurate information to fire patrol and remote monitor. We have verified WSN data collected from the ground sensing against the video surveillance data obtained from a UAV it is used for ground verification of satellite data in large peat
