VeriMap provides near real-time fire mapping services using thermal infrared imaging from aircraft to identify hotspots within active wildfires. Thermal imagery can detect hotspots through smoke and at night to help direct firefighting efforts. High resolution color and infrared maps are delivered within a few hours, along with GPS coordinates of hotspots, to support fire management operations day and night. VeriMap aims to rapidly map large areas with high accuracy using certified personnel and flexible resolution options.

VERIMAP’S NEAR REAL-TIME FIRE MAPPING
SYSTEM:
The VeriMap thermal infrared fire mapping system creates
accurate mosaic image-maps of active fires for fire man-
agement operations and suppression efforts.
Thermal intensity is resolved to classify the hottest sections
of the active fire, therefore pinpointing the areas of most
intense thermal energy.
WHY THERMAL IMAGERY?
Thermal imagery provides an important visual reference
locator through smoke and the night, by identifying the hot
spots with respect to 3D terrain features in the thermal im-
agery. Positive identification of hotspots is rapid. Images
are transmitted wireless from the aircraft to ground crew,
ready for final processing and hand-off.
Areas of increased temperature are white, in contrast to the
surrounding ground temperatures. These are displayed as
differing shades of grey. The temperature gradients meas-
ured, classify open-flames, embers & the fire-front.

• Fire suppression operations are day-and-night.
• Our system is uniquely enable to collect day or night .
• Daytime imagery is merged with nighttime imagery.
• The color infrared, the new merged data classifies burnt and partial
burned areas.
• Detection of hotspots are acquired with very high resolution thermal
sensors.
• Multiple missions are merged to provide excellent trend analysis.
