Wildfire Detection Via Transfer Learning: A Survey
It provides a practical guide for using transfer learning in wildfire detection, but it is incremental as it surveys existing methods without introducing new techniques.
This survey compares pre-trained neural network models fine-tuned for wildfire detection from visible-range cameras, finding that Swin Transformer-tiny achieves the highest AUC while ConvNext-tiny detects all wildfire events with the lowest false alarm rate.
This paper surveys different publicly available neural network models used for detecting wildfires using regular visible-range cameras which are placed on hilltops or forest lookout towers. The neural network models are pre-trained on ImageNet-1K and fine-tuned on a custom wildfire dataset. The performance of these models is evaluated on a diverse set of wildfire images, and the survey provides useful information for those interested in using transfer learning for wildfire detection. Swin Transformer-tiny has the highest AUC value but ConvNext-tiny detects all the wildfire events and has the lowest false alarm rate in our dataset.
