In this work, an improved dynamic convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to accurately identify the risk of a forest fire was established based on the traditional DCNN model. First, the DCNN network model was trained in combination with transfer learning, and multiple pre-trained DCNN models were used to extract features from forest fire images. Second, principal component analysis (PCA) reconstruction technology was used in the appropriate subspace. The constructed 15-layer forest fire risk identification DCNN model named “DCN_Fire” could accurately identify core fire insurance areas. Moreover, the original and enhanced image data sets were used to evaluate the impact of data enhancement on the model’s accuracy. The traditional DCNN model was improved and the recognition speed and accuracy were compared and analyzed with the other three DCNN model algorithms with different architectures. The difficulty of using DCNN to monitor forest fire risk was solved, and the model’s detection accuracy was further improved. The true positive rate was 7.41% and the false positive rate was 4.8%. When verifying the impact of different batch sizes and loss rates on verification accuracy, the loss rate of the DCN_Fire model of 0.5 and the batch size of 50 provided the optimal value for verification accuracy (0.983). The analysis results showed that the improved DCNN model had excellent recognition speed and accuracy and could accurately recognize and classify the risk of a forest fire under natural light conditions, thereby providing a technical reference for preventing and tackling forest fires.

Forests are indispensable links in the ecological chain and important ecosystems in nature. The destruction of forests seriously influences the ecological environment of the Earth. Forest protection plays an important role in human sustainable development, and the most important aspect of forest protection is preventing forest fires. Fire affects the structure and dynamics of forests and also climate and geochemical cycles. Using various technologies to monitor the occurrence of forest fires, quickly finding the source of forest fires, and conducting early intervention are of great significance to reducing the damage caused by forest fires. An improved forest fire risk identification algorithm is established based on a deep learning algorithm to accurately identify forest fire risk in a complex natural environment. First, image enhancement and morphological preprocessing are performed on a forest fire risk image. Second, the suspected forest fire area is segmented. The color segmentation results are compared using the HAF and MCC methods, and the suspected forest fire area features are extracted. Finally, the forest fire risk image recognition processing is conducted. A forest fire risk dataset is constructed to compare different classification methods to predict the occurrence of forest fire risk to improve the backpropagation (BP) neural network forest fire identification algorithm. An improved machine learning algorithm is used to evaluate the classification accuracy. The results reveal that the algorithm changes the learning rate between 0.1 and 0.8, consistent with the cross-index verification of the 10x sampling algorithm. In the combined improved BP neural network and support vector machine (SVM) classifier, forest fire risk is recognized based on feature extraction and the BP network. In total, 1,450 images are used as the training set. The experimental results reveal that in image preprocessing, image enhancement technology using the frequency and spatial domain methods can enhance the useful information of the image and improve its clarity. In the image segmentation stage, MCC is used to evaluate the segmentationresults. The accuracy of this algorithm is high compared with other algorithms, up to 92.73%. Therefore, the improved forest fire risk identification algorithm can accurately identify forest fire risk in the natural environment and contribute to forest protection.

Forest fires represent one of the main problems threatening forest sustainability. Therefore, an early prevention system of forest fire is urgently needed. To address the problem of forest farm fire monitoring, this paper proposes a forest fire monitoring system based on drones and deep learning. The proposed system aims to solve the shortcomings of traditional forest fire monitoring systems, such as blind spots, poor real-time performance, expensive operational costs, and large resource consumption. The image processing techniques are used to determine whether the frame returned by a drone contains fire. This process is accomplished in real time, and the resultant information is used to decide whether a rescue operation is needed. The proposed method has simple operations, high operating efficiency, and low operating cost. The experimental results indicate that the relative accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 81.97%. In addition, the proposed technique provides a digital ability to monitor forest fires in real time effectively. Thus, it can assist in avoiding fire-related disasters and can significantly reduce the labor and other costs of forest fire disaster prevention and suppression.

This paper designs a WSN gateway for environmental monitoring of paddy field, which includes the hardware structure and the software program. We use the MSP430F149 as the core of the gateway node and the nRF905 as the peripherals equipment for node communication. We choose TDR-3, a soil moisture sensor, and DHT22, a temperature-humidity sensor, to collect and process the environmental information of the paddy field in real time. The MC55 is used as the GPRS module to achieve communication between the gateway and the Internet. We write programs of hardware drivers, communication protocol, abnormal SMS alarm and time synchronization protocol based on the hardware platform. The communication distance, power consumption and data storage rate of the gateway are tested in paddy field. Tests results show that, in open area, the maximum distance of effective communication can reach 331.18m, the longest working hour without charging is 32days, the maximum storage rate is 849.7kbps, the packet loss rate is 0.686% under local network and 0.712% between local network and the internet. The gateway has the characteristics of stable operation, long-time-low-power consumption, long distance transmission and automatic alarm. It can meet the requirement of information acquisition of environmental monitoring in paddy field.

Monitoring and early warning technology for forest fires is crucial. An early warning/monitoring system for forest fires was constructed based on deep learning and the internet of things. Forest fire recognition was improved by combining the size, color, and shape characteristics of the flame, smoke, and area. Complex upper-layer fire-image features were extracted, improving the input conversion by building a forest fire risk prediction model based on an improved dynamic convolutional neural network. The proposed back propagation neural network fire (BPNNFire) algorithm calculated the image processing speed and delay rate, and data were preprocessed to remove noise. The model recognized forest fire images, and the classifier classified them to distinguish images with and without fire. Fire images were classified locally for feature extraction. Forest fire images were stored on a remote server. Existing algorithms were compared, and BPNNFire provided real-time accurate forest fire recognition at a low frame rate with 84.37% accuracy, indicating superior recognition. The maximum relative error between the measured and actual values for real-time online monitoring of forest environment indicators, such as air temperature and humidity, was 5.75%. The packet loss rate of the forest fire monitoring network was 5.99% at Longshan Forest Farm and 2.22% at Longyandong Forest Farm.
