Problem worth solving

Support aerial fire detection and mapping where field connectivity may be too limited for continuous cloud transfer.

Engineering decisions

  1. Integrated an ODM aerial-mapping workflow with AWS image storage and fire-detection inference management.
  2. Built onboard image storage with a Raspberry Pi 5 to reduce dependence on a live connection.
  3. Experimented with LTE and satellite data transmission for low-connectivity operations.

What changed

  • The project received TEKNOFEST Turkey 2025 funding; Thariq contributed as a team member.
  • Produced an autonomous-system concept spanning onboard storage, aerial mapping, cloud storage, and fire-detection results.
