- Description
- Forests are considered synonyms for abundance on our planet. They uphold the lifecycle of a diversity of creatures, including mankind. Destruction of such forests due to environmental hazards like forest fires is disastrous and leads to loss of economy, wildlife, property, and people. It endangers everything in its vicinity. Sadly, the presence of flora and fauna only increase the fire spread capability and speed. Early detection of these forest fires can help control the spread and protect the nearby areas from the damage caused. This research paper aims at predicting the occurrence of forest fires using machine learning and deep learning techniques. The idea is to apply multiple algorithms to the data and perform comparative analysis to find the best-performing model. The best performance is obtained by the decision tree model for this work. It gave an accuracy of 79.6% and a recall score of 0.90. This model was then implemented on front-end WebUI using the flask and pickle modules in Python. The front-end Website returns the probability that a forest fire occurs for a set of inputs given by the user. This implementation is done using the PyCharm IDE. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
