Datasets

Drone-based wildfire detection methods enable high-precision, real-time fire monitoring that is not offered by traditional wildfire mitigation techniques that can help significantly mitigate the overall damages caused by wildfires due to early detection and response. However, the development of these systems has been limited by the lack of high quality, well-annotated datasets necessary for the development of detection, monitoring, and modelling models. To combat this, we have collected and published the FLAME datasets, FLAME 1 and FLAME 2, to help enhance the development of robust wildfire monitoring systems. Both datasets include high-quality, well-annotated drone aerial imagery of prescribed burns in Northern Arizona with additional supplementary data. 

These datasets are publicly available via IEEE DataPort and linked below.
