Computation Of Burnt Forest Region Using Digital Image Processing

Predicting the forest fire is an important problem from many points of view. It destroys ecology and decreases the overall life quality. It is important from economical point of view as wood is a valuable resource. Fires not only affect the characteristics of forests but it also affects human lives and livelihood. Due to the lack of collecting the aerial view images of forest fire and also lack of specific techniques for calculation of burnt regions of forests, researchers use different methods. In this paper, we examine the problem of collecting the exact aerial image forest fire detection of different parts of the forest areas. Our approach is based on image preprocessing, segmentation of images are produced using the segmentation methods and compute the burned area. The images are collected from the videos. In the preprocessing phase, forest fire video is converted into frames and stored as images.
