Abstract<\/span><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Alberta’s Wildfire Management Aviation and Geomatics Section currently uses the ‘Scout’ infrared (IR) camera model for regular program work. The Scout has been in operation for approximately 10 years, and although this model provides acceptable results, there are some deficiencies e.g. complicated device restrictions, poor charging design, and maintenance issues. Given the age of the Scout cameras, an expanding need for additional cameras, and the likelihood of new technology the Aviation and Geomatics Unit is interested in conducting a project aimed at researching infrared camera technology and identifying potential \u00ab\u00a0the next generation\u00a0\u00bb infrared cameras.<\/p>\n

The project is suspended after completing the national survey in 2020.[\/vc_column_text]
