ADELIE system, AI for monitoring fire outbreaks in the South West of France

AI monitors forest areas with the ADELIE system: an early fire detection solution. The ADELIE system, developed by PARATRONIC, uses multispectral cameras and artificial intelligence to continuously monitor forest areas. It detects smoke during the day and the glow of flames at night, and provides a precise location of fire outbreaks. The ADELIE system has been adopted by a number of French départements, and is designed to simplify and enhance surveillance of high-risk areas in natural environments.
