R.O.F - Researchers of the future | Spot That Fire!
Team Updates
How does your app encourage citizen participation to support this human-based remote sensing initiative on wildfires?
The system presents a intuitive interface, increasing the relation with the user and encouraging him to answer the questions more effectively and creating a good fidelity with the user, by making ASSERTVE QUESTIONS (Exemple: Users near you are repporting focus of fire, do you spot any smokes or sparks around your area? Answer: "Yes" or "No".) and the user will report what its sees.
-What problem are we helping solve?
Today there is a big problem to predict the outbreak of fire, one of the causes is the time the satellites take to send data such as temperature anomalies, volcanic eruptions and gases expelled by nature.Forest fires can be generated by nature itself, for example, a season of drought or lightning.Reduce detection time of fires and monitor natural disasters, with data sent by users, in real time.
