Recently, the 2nd China's Innovation Challenge on Artificial Intelligence Application Scene, co-hosted by the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Research Center, concluded in Shenzhen. The project Areawide Intelligent Forest Fire Prevention and Situational Awareness System, co-led by Wang Fei, an associate professor at the Institute of Safety Science and Technology in the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS), and Li Yi, an associate professor at the Institute for Ocean Engineering at Tsinghua SIGS, won the first prize in the Intelligent Forest Fire Prevention Competition and finished runner-up in the national final.
Award certificates
Wang Fei’s team has long focused on the study of intelligent forest fire prevention, achieving a series of results in areas such as data-driven forest fire risk assessment, fire prediction modeling in urban-forest junction areas, and fire spot identification and monitoring. Li Yi also guided the project, especially in the core content of intelligent perception technology under multi-sensor fusion and signal characteristics recognition based on AI models. The team worked together to weave a solid forest protection net for our ecological environment with technology.
The intelligent framework proposed by the team
The project integrates intelligent methods into the entire disaster prevention and control chain, achieving comprehensive intelligent prevention and control through integrated assessment, precise identification, and situational prediction. With strong technological support, it facilitates to achieve the goal of early detection, precise containment, and complete extinguishment in forest fire rescue. Currently, the research results have been successfully applied in multiple regions, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Heilongjiang Provinces, providing crucial technical support for forest fire prevention and control.
