Vision Nest: Wildfire Monitoring & Management Hub - Backend and Admin panel

Background : Vision Nest is an innovative AI-powered IoT system designed for the early detection of wildfires in remote locations. Our system comprises stationary units equipped with an array of sensors including cameras, thermal imagery, and air quality sensors. These units periodically transmit data to our central servers via POST requests, ensuring real-time monitoring capabilities. Challenge : Despite our robust data collection capabilities, we currently lack an efficient way to show and interact with the data from these devices. Our goal is to improve the current comprehensive admin panel that enables effective management and monitoring of the Vision Nest units, facilitating rapid response and detailed environmental analysis. Tech stack: GCP (mainly cloud run, pub/sub, and cloud functions, VertexAI end-points), React, TypeScript, Bootstrap Objective : By the end of this project, learners are expected to create an admin panel with the following functionalities: User Authentication: Secure login for users to access their specific Vision Nest devices. Device Management Settings : Module for users to configure and update device settings remotely. Geographical Visualization : Interactive map displaying the locations of all deployed Vision Nest units, with clickable options for detailed data views. Data Visualization : Periodically updating charts displaying air quality metrics and the latest visual data from each device linked to the user's account. Snap shot : Snap shot of the devices latest reading. Outcome : Participants will deliver a user-friendly admin panel that not only enhances the usability of the Vision Nest system but also supports crucial wildfire prevention efforts by providing timely and actionable insights.

Wildfire Data Analysis and Prediction

The Wildfire Data Analysis and Prediction project aims to provide learners with hands-on experience in data analytics and predictive modeling using real-world environmental data.
