On-Orbit Real-Time Wildfire Detection Under On-Board Constraints

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.06273v1 Announce Type: new We present a deployed system for on-orbit wildfire detection aboard a nine-satellite commercial thermal infrared constellation, operating under demanding joint constraints: sub-megabyte model footprint, sub-150 ms per-batch TensorRT FP16 inference on an NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX, and an end-to-end alert pipeline targeting under 10 minutes from satellite overpass to fire event communication.
