It is not feasible to develop onestrong fusion model with fixed weights in this setting with drifting nature. Anideal on-line active learning mechanism should keep track of drifts in video andadapt itself accordingly. The projections in Eqs. 6.19, 6.30, 6.35, and 6.36 adjustthe importance of individual sub-algorithms by updating the weights accordingto the decisions of the oracle.6.4 Experimental ResultsThe proposed wildfire detection scheme with LMS based active learning methodis implemented on a PC with an Intel Core Duo CPU 1.86GHz processor andtested with forest surveillance recordings captured from cameras mounted on topof forest watch towers near Antalya and Mugla regions in Turkey. The installedsystem successfully detected three forest fires in the summer of 2008.The proposed active decision fusion strategy is compared with the universallinear predictor (ULP) scheme proposed by Oza [58], [59], and Singer andFeder [74] for online active learning. In the ULP scheme, decisions of individual
