创新背景

森林火灾的原因复杂多样，无论因为什么原因，火势蔓延与林木树叶的易燃性关系重大。在森林防火方面除了需要提高指挥控制领域的技术和能力，选择合适的办法切除燃烧媒介的联系也是重要的防火方法。

创新过程

干燥季节时森林火灾频发的时间段，以色列一家初创公司Fighting Treetop Fire面对夏季蔓延肆虐的森林火灾，提出了用精确的算法使激光束摧毁多叶的树梢，帮助减少燃烧媒介的接触，将火势引导回地面，防止火势在树木之间的蔓延。

其中提到的激光清除树叶方法在别的领域已经有过合适的操作。2014年11月荷兰Strukton公司研发出一种清除轨道落叶的激光设备，通过连续激光脉冲使叶片的有机物质汽化，消融杂质，从轨道上脱离。

目前的森林防火技术主要集中在对火灾的把控监测方面，将森林资源数据、相关资料、防火力量的配置、人员分布、历史数据数字化、矢量化等集结起来，建立起一套监控指挥系统。采用的切实灭火还是人工的喷水方式，对于人力资源的需求较大，且常具生命危险。

激光的能量大，定向发光，对于清除树叶有着高效作用和无污染的好处，并且可以实施远程操控。开发出切实符合森林保护的激光束算法，在不会扩大火势的情况下精确切除树叶联系，可将火势影响控制在最小范围和最易处理情况下，并减少灭火危险系数，对于森林防火乃至消防安全都有着重要意义。

创新关键点

将激光清除树叶的技术引入森林火灾燃烧媒介切断，控制森林火势蔓延，有效进行森林保护和消防事业。

Lasers remove leaves and innovate forest fire prevention methods

During the dry season when forest fires are frequent, an Israeli start-up company, Fighting Treetop Fire, faced the raging forest fires in summer, and proposed a precise algorithm to use a laser beam to destroy leafy treetops to help reduce the contact of burning media, Direct the fire back to the ground to prevent the fire from spreading between trees.
The laser leaf removal method mentioned therein has already been properly operated in other fields. In November 2014, the Dutch company Strukton developed a laser device for removing fallen leaves from the track. Through continuous laser pulses, the organic substances in the leaves are vaporized, the impurities are ablated, and they are separated from the track.
The current forest fire prevention technology mainly focuses on the control and monitoring of fires. It integrates forest resource data, related materials, configuration of fire protection forces, personnel distribution, digitization and vectorization of historical data, and establishes a monitoring and command system. The actual fire extinguishing method used is still manual water spraying, which requires a large amount of human resources and is often life-threatening.
The energy of the laser is large and the directional light is emitted, which has the advantages of high efficiency and no pollution for removing leaves, and can be controlled remotely. Developed a laser beam algorithm that is in line with forest protection, and can accurately cut off leaf connections without expanding the fire, which can control the impact of the fire to the smallest range and the most manageable situation, and reduce the risk factor of fire extinguishing. Safety is important.
