How Edge Computing Powers Real-Time Wildfire Detection
Wildfires are getting faster and more destructive. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how edge computing is transforming wildfire detection from satellite imagery with hours-long lag to on-the-ground sensor networks that analyze smoke, temperature, and wind data in under 10 seconds. They focus on a specific deployment by Pano AI in California's Sonoma County, where 50 edge nodes now cover 1.2 million acres. Lucas breaks down the hardware: a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 paired with a Coral Edge TPU, running a 12-megapixel camera and a lightweight vision model that classifies smoke plumes…
