Systems, methods, and devices for early wildfire detection and prediction

A detection and prediction method, the method comprising:

• receiving environmental data from a plurality of data collecting devices configured to connect to a wildfire detection network, wherein the environmental data includes location data, historical environmental data, and real-time environmental data;
• populating a map of a geographic area in which the plurality of data collecting devices are disposed;
• receiving weather data through the wildfire detection network;
• determining a probability of a wildfire at a plurality of locations within the geographic area from the environmental data and the weather data;
• determining whether an anomaly has occurred within the geographic area from the real-time environmental data;
• dividing the map into smaller portions to form a pixelated map;
• aggregating sensor data from the environmental data and the location data;
• populating the pixelated map with the sensor data, wherein the sensor data for the plurality of sensors is correlated to the location of the sensors within the plurality of sensors;
• determining the probability of the wildfire at the location corresponding to a pixel within the pixelated map;
• and
• selecting automatically, by the data collecting devices, a network protocol from a plurality of network protocols based on a location of the data collecting devices and/or a received network protocol received from another data collecting device.

A network server for:

• receiving environmental data from a plurality of data collecting devices configured to connect to a wildfire detection network, wherein the environmental data includes location data, historical environmental data, and real-time environmental data, wherein the data collecting devices automatically select a network protocol from a plurality of network protocols based on a location of the data collecting devices and/or a received network protocol received from another of the data collecting devices;
• populating a map of a geographic area in which the plurality of data collecting devices are disposed;
• receiving weather data through the wildfire detection network;
• determining a probability of a wildfire at a plurality of locations within the geographic area from the environmental data and the weather data;
• and
• determining whether an anomaly has occurred within the geographic area based on the real-time environmental data-dividing the map into smaller portions to form a pixelated map;
• aggregating sensor data from the environmental data and the location data;
• populating the pixelated map with the sensor data, wherein the sensor data for the plurality of sensors is correlated to the location of the sensors within the plurality of sensors;
• and
• determining the probability of the wildfire at the location corresponding to a pixel within the pixelated map.
