Lux Aerobot Inc.
Near-real-time Platform-agnostic Wildfire Detection and Simulation System — The project is a wildfire management system developed in collaboration with INO, using requirements from SOPFEU and Natural Resources Canada to accomplish near-real-time, high-resolution thermal mapping of active wildfires using satellite/aerial imagery. Using pseudo image datasets, Lux Aerobot will be able to train deep learning computer vision models designed specifically to extract hotspots on a pixel level. To address potential telecommunications bandwidth limitations, the model will also be further adapted to be able to operate directly on-board satellite platforms, subject to the various constraints such as finite power supply, heat dissipation and limited computing power.
