This task is usually done with a helicopter and scanner, and this can be expensive and time consuming. The issue is: can UAV technology be used to reliably detect holdover fires in winter burn piles? The project will determine the costs and benefits of using a UAV to scan piles, and explore the methodology, and the approvals required for operation. The approach will be to construct a test grid to determine the minimum hotspot size and temperature that the UAV can detect and then conduct a series of tests over burn piles to compare the results to the helicopter scan. UAV availability means the pile scan portion will not take place until spring 2015.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6a14550ed611d {margin-top: 48px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6a14550ed611d\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6a14550ed62733876 .gem-button svg {fill: #ffffff;}.thegem-button-6a14550ed62733876 .gem-button:hover svg {fill: #ffffff;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-inline thegem-button-6a14550ed62733876    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-small gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-normal\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 3px;background-color: #faa533;color: #ffffff;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#faa533';this.style.color='#ffffff';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#0b4a6b';this.style.color='#ffffff';\" href=\"https:\/\/library.fpinnovations.ca\/en\/list?q=Using+UAVs+to+scan+winter+burn+piles&#038;p=1&#038;ps=20&#038;researchprogram_facet=Wildfire+Operations\" target=\"_self\">Related Documents<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/4&Prime;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Project [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Using UAVs to scan winter burn piles [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/4&Prime;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Year [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]2014[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] status [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Suspended[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Researcher [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Oleg Melnik (Lead)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[120,112,118,122],"class_list":{"0":"post-27110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-equipment-evaluation-fr","8":"tag-aerial-fr","9":"tag-detection-fr","10":"tag-equipment-fr","11":"tag-rpas-fr","12":"post_format-post-format-video"},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27111,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27110\/revisions\/27111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
