  The aim of this research is to review the state of computer vision as applied
to combatting forest fires. My motivation to research this topic comes from the
urgency with which new participants and stakeholders require guidance in this
field. One of these new stakeholder groups are practitioners of machine
learning that lack domain expertise. Introducing these new entrants to domain
specific datasets and methods is critical to supporting this aim as general
computer vision datasets are insufficient to support specialized research
initiatives. The overarching aim of the research is to introduce datasets and
methods to make them more accessible to the community.
