Ethan Higgins, DigitalPath system architect, discusses ALERTCalifornia initiative using computer vision and AI algorithms to detect signs of fire in real time. They process millions of images, classify them, and send alerts to CAL FIRE command centers. The challenges lie in reducing false positives and handling immense data. They are also exploring the use of high-resolution LIDAR data for identifying wildfires.
