Introduction

a wireless sensor network (WSN) technology could be deployed to detect a forest fire in its early stages

Each sensor node can gather different types of row data from sensors

Related Work

Traditionally, forest fires were detected using conventional techniques such as guard towers located to fire high points

forest-fire detection systems based on the satellite imagery(MODIS, AVHRR,...)

Conclusion

This study firstly reveals that WSN technology is a very promising green technology for the future in detecting efficiently the forest fires in our country. Secondly, and through the real experiments performed in the field, we conclude the effectiveness of the Canadian approach in terms of energy efficiency and algorithmic complexity compared to the Korean one, and its suitability to the context of our country mainly during summer seasons.
