Futuristic Monitoring Queries

• Track a smoke cloud (moving cluster) in terms of
  its speed and severity ?
• Find the scope and direction of fire spreads ?
• Match given sensors readings of fire with a fire
  stream simulation to determine similarity ?
• Is this a prank (outlier), or an actual fire ?
• What path should people be leaving this building
  ?
• Any sensor readings are faulty, can be ignored?
