The problem
Stubble burning spikes air pollution, but detection and enforcement are delayed.
What to build
Use satellite fire data and imagery to detect burning events quickly and alert officials with location and confidence.
Success looks like
Alerts within an hour of satellite pass for test regions and a map that cuts false positives from industrial heat sources.
Suggested technologies
- Active-fire data
- Remote sensing
- Alert pipelines
- Geospatial filtering
- Dashboards
