exci's AI-Powered Wildfire Detection: Reliable, Accurate, and Fast
At the core of exci’s wildfire detection technology is advanced AI, powered by deep learning algorithms that analyse data from ground-based cameras and satellites for signs of smoke and heat. This innovative fusion of satellite imagery and ground-based camera data enables exci to achieve unmatched accuracy in detecting and monitoring wildfires and bushfires.
Our system employs a multi-layered approach to provide robust, real-time alerts with a near-zero false positive rate. This ensures that users receive critical information promptly, enhancing response efforts and improving overall wildfire management. With exci, you can trust that you have the most reliable AI wildfire detection system to protect lives, property, and the environment.
Our ground-based wildfire/bushfire detection system is camera-agnostic and compatible with a wide range of cameras on the market. It is ideally suited for high-value areas such as rural-urban interface and high-risk zones like national parks, state forests, and conservation areas. This solution ensures rapid detection of bushfires during daylight hours, safeguarding these vulnerable regions.
Satellite data is streamed near real-time from existing satellite networks, offering broad-reaching and cost-effective coverage. While the ground-based camera system provides fast detection during the day, satellites are better suited for remote and broad area coverage, night-time detections, and comprehensive coverage in all weather conditions.
Early Wildfire Detection = Advanced AI + Cameras + Satellites
Camera-based AI Bushfire Detection: Empowering Customers with Camera Control
exci’s AI wildfire detection technology is camera-agnostic, meaning it works seamlessly with various camera types, including stationary and PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras. This flexibility provides several key benefits:
Customer Control: Customers can choose the cameras that best suit their needs, position them strategically, and use them based on specific requirements.
Real-Time Access: Once a fire is detected, customers can immediately access the camera feed to assess the situation in real-time. This direct access enables quicker decision-making, allowing rapid response and initial attack procedures.
We also offer guidance on hardware requirements and can help source cameras through our trusted partners, ensuring the best setup for our customers’ needs.
Satellite-based Wildfire Monitoring
While satellite technology is invaluable for tracking and monitoring wildfires and predicting their paths, it has limitations in delivering real-time data. However, exci has achieved one of the best latency rates for satellite data and is offering the fastest access and processing time for existing geostationary assets. exci’s patented technology uses proprietary algorithms and methods of processing satellite data.
To address satellite data’s limitations, exci combines ground-based camera data with information from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites to detect bushfires quickly and accurately.
While our ground-based cameras offer rapid detection during daylight hours, satellites excel in providing extensive coverage, monitoring remote areas, detecting fires at night, and operating under various weather conditions.
System Performance
During the 2021 Californian fire season, exci processed over One Billion Images from ground-based cameras as well as analysed more than 500,000 Satellite Images (30GB per day). The system monitored nearly 130 Million acres from Mexico to Canada covering California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington and parts of Australia. The exci system issued 8,672 notifications. Reports from California indicated that the system detected 66% of fires within a minute, 95% within 5 minutes, and nearly 100% within 10 minutes with a near zero-rate of false positives.
In Australia, exci’s system monitors an expansive network that spans over 30 million acres, extending from Victoria to Northern Queensland.
A comprehensive assessment of our development team revealed that since the launch of our system, we have successfully detected an astounding 150,000 fires and counting.
This remarkable achievement has had a profound impact, safeguarding not just our clients’ valuable assets but also fostering the protection of our communities and the preservation of our ecosystems.
Our team’s unwavering commitment to excellence led to a significant enhancement in our system’s efficiency and precision. By optimising the average detection time to a mere one minute, we have not only revolutionised the landscape of wildfire detection but also established a new benchmark for rapid response and mitigation. This accomplishment firmly solidifies our position as pioneers in the field.
User interface
Electronic notifications
As soon as a fire is detected by either a ground-based camera or a satellite, electronic notifications are sent directly to designated users via SMS or email.
Map alerts
Our web-based map interface displays all detection information in real-time, integrating data from both cameras and satellites. This map is an ideal tool for operations centers, such as fire stations and emergency services, providing a comprehensive overview of fire detection coverage. Users can access individual camera feeds for remote fire assessment, and the map is also available on mobile platforms for on-the-go monitoring.
API Integration for Seamless Data Access
The raw detection data from Exci’s AI-powered wildfire detection system is processed and made available via an API, allowing for easy integration with existing GIS or other mapping systems. We offer flexible data delivery in multiple formats with customizable parameters, ensuring that your platform has the most accurate and up-to-date wildfire detection information available.
