Abstract
This article proposes a novel deep-learning-based ORB-SLAM-feature filtering framework to monitor, detect the occurrence, and estimate the distance of early wildfire through an integrated design of image processing of aerial onboard visual-infrared sensor measurements and real-time navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed framework uses a DJI ZenMuse H20T onboard sensor integrating with both visual and infrared cameras mounted on a DJI M300 UAV. It consists of three main functional modules to support early wildfire fighting and management missions: 1) smoke and suspected flame segmentation based on an attention gate U-Net, which decreases false alarm and provides semantic information; 2) camera poses recovery based on a monocular SLAM algorithm and wildfire spot distance estimation based on a triangulation algorithm. With the estimated wildfire distance, camera poses, and global positioning system (GPS) information of the UAV, the suspected wildfire spot can be geo-located; 3) visual-infrared images registration based on a geometry model to forbid false detection and missing segmentation. Finally, independent indoor and outdoor experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in the developed framework.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
