A wildfire smoke detection system using unmanned aerial vehicle images based on the optimized YOLOv5
Mukhiddinov, Abdusalomov, ChoWildfire is one of the most significant dangers and the most serious natural catastrophe, endangering forest resources, animal life, and the human economy. Recent years have witnessed a rise in wildfire incidents. The two main factors are persistent…
