ANU developed a bushfire detection algorithm enabling early detection of fires as small as 5 m² from up to 50 km away. This technology significantly improves accuracy and safety, automating smoke detection and reducing hazards for staff. It distinguishes smoke from clouds or fog, crucial for bushfire and wildfire management. Applications include environmental protection and fire detection. ANU seeks partnerships for integration and deployment with imaging hardware companies and government fire services.
