Intro

Today we’re joined by Feng Yan, Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno to discuss ALERTWildfire, a camera-based network infrastructure that captures satellite imagery of wildfires. In our conversation, Feng details the development of the machine learning models and surrounding infrastructure. We also talk through problem formulation, challenges with using camera and satellite data in this use case, and how he has combined the use of IaaS and FaaS tools for cost-effectiveness and scalability
