Jetson Drone Wildfire Detection

The current project plan is to use the drone to fly autonomously (just a pre-planned route at first) and detect wildfires by passing the camera feed through a neural net running on the NVIDIA Jetson board. The GPS coordinates of the detected fires are logged and uploaded to a website to be displayed on a map.

If there is sufficient time, resources, and interest, we will continue to develop other projects such as object detection, gesture control, autonomous flying via computer vision with obstacle avoidance, etc.
