AI-based wildfire monitoring ICT platform
Korea Forest Service expanded its AI wildfire-monitoring platform to 30 locations
Problem
Wildfire surveillance relied on camera networks held by different public bodies. The AI monitoring platform initially covered about 10 locations concentrated along the east coast.
Approach
The Korea Forest Service expanded the platform to 30 locations for spring 2024 operations. It connected camera resources across agencies so approximately 6,000 cameras could be used for surveillance. The service described the platform as part of its expanded wildfire-monitoring infrastructure.
Results
Takeaway
The disclosed result concerned monitoring coverage and shared camera access. The service did not isolate the platform's effect on fire losses.
