The project aims to study, design and test a computer vision-based system for the detection of wildfire smokes. The main goals of the project are to achieve a robust and accurate detection system capable to adapt to different environmental situations, with the use of low-quality frame sequences and limited hardware power.

Since the availability of wildfire smoke footages is limited, the project includes also the design and development of a virtual environment for the generation of synthetic smoke clouds based on real frame sequences, in order to give the possibility to create a greater number of test and train sequences for the proposed system. Moreover, we collected information about available current datasets in order to fairly test and compare different algorithms.
