Researchers have developed a real-time wildfire detection system for use on satellites, designed to operate under strict on-board constraints. The system utilizes a lightweight dense representation learning approach, specifically DenseMAE, to process thermal infrared imagery and identify fires as small anomalies. This method achieves high accuracy with a minimal model footprint and rapid inference times, outperforming traditional methods in challenging conditions with extreme class imbalance. AI
