FireSat aims to spot tiny wildfires with smaller satellites and AI
Google says FireSat chose smaller, lower-cost satellites over a large, expensive, high-resolution satellite, relying on machine learning and AI to make up the precision difference.
TLDR
Google describes FireSat as an initiative using AI to detect and track wildfires. Google Research scientist Chris Van Arsdale says choosing smaller, lower-cost satellites means more can be launched, but machine learning and AI are needed to compensate for the precision gap compared with a large, high-resolution satellite.
