A Novel Approach to Early Fire Detection in a Semi-Arid Zone Using Drones and Internet of Things

The places considered semi-arid are susceptible to forest fires, which every year devastate large areas. This article describes the development of a monitoring and detection system for areas with a high probability of fire by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection enabled with a camera that allows taking videos for further processing. Besides, it is possible to take a census of the temperature and humidity present in the environment, using the communication protocol LoRa, to monitor temperature changes in crops and flora of the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico. This prototype has the objective of reducing the number of fires, which increase in the dry season causing a large number of accidents.
