AI based Autonomous Flight Wildfire Detection Drone

Talk by Ilkhom Karimov – Graduated Masters Degree in Computer Science in 2009 and worked on different Enterprise companies and startups using AI and Deep Learning for various projects. Currently, he is working at DroneDetects startup to create autonomous flight drone which can detect wildfires at the earliest stages using AI.

Talk: "AI based Autonomous Flight Wildfire Detection Drone"

DroneDetects - startup aimed to increase the efficiency of fire fighting by detecting wildfires at the earliest stages using autonomous roaming drones, thermal sensors, and AI (Convolutional Neural Networks). The presentation will cover building a drone for autonomous flight and fire detection based software and Nvidia Jetson edge computing embedded system.

We will discuss these subtopics:

• How to build a DIY drone
• How to program a drone
• How to fly the drone in the simulator
• Nvidia Jetson technologies for edge computing
• CNNs (Convolutional Neural Network) for Fire detection
  Intel RealSense and thermal cameras
