Abstract
The paper presents a system for automatic fire detection based on the use of autonomous aerial vehicles. Particularly, the application of a helicopter with infrared and visual cameras is described. The paper presents the techniques used for fire segmentation in visual and infrared cameras, and the procedures to fuse the data obtained from both of them. Furthermore the paper presents the techniques for automatic geolocation of the detected fire alarms. Experimental results are shown
