Abstract

Early identification of wildfire outbreaks is crucial to minimize ecological damage and reduce the risk to human life and property. Conventional satellite-based detection techniques often lack the temporal resolution needed for rapid response. This study presents a cost-effective and deployable wildfire detection system that utilizes a computer vision approach with a YOLOv8 object detection model trained on the D-Fire image dataset. A user-interactive application is developed using Streamlit, enabling end users to detect fire and smoke in imagery either uploaded locally or accessed via URLs. The app is designed with flexibility in model selection and threshold configuration to balance detection precision and speed. The proposed system is evaluated based on prediction latency and detection performance across different YOLO model sizes, demonstrating effective results for image-based wildfire detection in varying environmental contexts. The lightweight and accessible design makes it suitable for integration into broader monitoring networks or as a rapid-deployment solution in remote or high-risk areas.
