Multispectral imaging (MI) provides important information for burned-area mapping. Due to the severe conditions of burned areas and the limitations of sensors, the resolution of collected multispectral images is sometimes very rough, hindering the accurate determination of burned areas. Super-resolution mapping (SRM) has been proposed for mapping burned areas in rough images to solve this problem, allowing super-resolution burned-area mapping (SRBAM). However, the existing SRBAM methods do not use sufficiently accurate space information and detailed temperature information. To improve the mapping accuracy of burned areas, an improved SRBAM method utilizing space–temperature information (STI) is proposed here. STI contains two elements, a space element and a temperature element. We utilized the random-walker algorithm (RWA) to characterize the space element, which encompassed accurate object space information, while the temperature element with rich temperature information was derived by calculating the normalized burn ratio (NBR). The two elements were then merged to produce an objective function with space–temperature information. The particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSOA) was employed to handle the objective function and derive the burned-area mapping results. The dataset of the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) from Denali National Park, Alaska, was used for testing and showed that the STI method is superior to the traditional SRBAM method.

Heretofore, global Burned Area (BA) products have only been available at coarse spatial resolution, since most of the current global BA products are produced with the help of active fire detection or dense time-series change analysis, which requires very high temporal resolution. In this study, however, we focus on an automated global burned area mapping approach based on Landsat images. By utilizing the huge catalog of satellite imagery, as well as the high-performance computing capacity of Google Earth Engine, we propose an automated pipeline for generating 30-m resolution global-scale annual burned area maps from time-series of Landsat images, and a novel 30-m resolution Global annual Burned Area Map of 2015 (GABAM 2015) was released. All the available Landsat-8 images during 2014–2015 and various spectral indices were utilized to calculate the burned probability of each pixel using random decision forests, which were globally trained with stratified (considering both fire frequency and type of land cover) samples, and a seed-growing approach was conducted to shape the final burned areas after several carefully-designed logical filters (NDVI filter, Normalized Burned Ratio (NBR) filter, and temporal filter). GABAM 2015 consists of spatial extent of fires that occurred during 2015 and not of fires that occurred in previous years. Cross-comparison with the recent Fire_cci Version 5.0 BA product found a similar spatial distribution and a strong correlation ( R 2 = 0.74) between the burned areas from the two products, although differences were found in specific land cover categories (particularly in agriculture land). Preliminary global validation showed the commission and omission errors of GABAM 2015 to be 13.17% and 30.13%, respectively.

Accurate burned area information is needed to assess the impacts of wildfires on people, communities, and natural ecosystems. Various burned area detection methods have been developed using satellite remote sensing measurements with wide coverage and frequent revisits. Our study aims to expound on the capability of deep learning (DL) models for automatically mapping burned areas from uni-temporal multispectral imagery. Specifically, several semantic segmentation network architectures, i.e., U-Net, HRNet, Fast-SCNN, and DeepLabv3+, and machine learning (ML) algorithms were applied to Sentinel-2 imagery and Landsat-8 imagery in three wildfire sites in two different local climate zones. The validation results show that the DL algorithms outperform the ML methods in two of the three cases with the compact burned scars, while ML methods seem to be more suitable for mapping dispersed burn in boreal forests. Using Sentinel-2 images, U-Net and HRNet exhibit comparatively identical performance with higher kappa (around 0.9) in one heterogeneous Mediterranean fire site in Greece; Fast-SCNN performs better than others with kappa over 0.79 in one compact boreal forest fire with various burn severity in Sweden. Furthermore, directly transferring the trained models to corresponding Landsat-8 data, HRNet dominates in the three test sites among DL models and can preserve the high accuracy. The results demonstrated that DL models can make full use of contextual information and capture spatial details in multiple scales from fire-sensitive spectral bands to map burned areas. Using only a post-fire image, the DL methods not only provide automatic, accurate, and bias-free large-scale mapping option with cross-sensor applicability, but also have potential to be used for onboard processing in the next Earth observation satellites.

Biomass burning in an area will leave traces of fire such as charcoal, ash, and outcrop of land in the area known as the burned area. The burnt area is thought to have a relatively higher temperature than the surrounding area were not burned. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the temperature of the burned area using remote sensing data of Landsat-8 TIRS (Thermal Infra Red Sensor). The selected research locations are parts of Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan incoming Landsat scene-8 path / row 118/062. The research method is a data processing Landsat-8 TIRS (channels 10 and 11) to produce an image of the brightness temperature as well as data analysis includes a statistical analysis of central tendency of the values of the brightness temperature of the sample (calculation of mean and standard deviation) as well as distance calculation (D-value). The results showed that the brightness temperature data either channel 10 or channel 11 Landsat-8 TIRS has good ability in separating the burned area and bare soil, but has a low ability to separate the burned areas and settlements. Thus, the brightness temperature parameter cannot be used as a single variable for the extraction of burned areas in a scene image of a single acquisition. Abstrak Peristiwa kebakaran biomassa pada suatu daerah akan menyisakan bekas-bekas kebakaran seperti arang, abu, serta singkapan tanah pada daerah tersebut yang dikenal dengan burned area. Daerah bekas kebakaran tersebut diduga memiliki temperatur yang relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan daerah sekitarnya yang tidak terbakar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik temperatur burned area menggunakan data penginderaan jauh Landsat-8 Thermal Infra Red Sensor (TIRS). Lokasi penelitian yang dipilih adalah sebagian wilayah Kalimantan Tengah dan Kalimantan Selatan yang masuk scene Landsat-8 path/row 118/062. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah pengolahan data Landsat-8 TIRS (kanal 10 dan 11) untuk menghasilkan citra suhu kecerahan serta analisis data yang meliputi analisis statistik tendensi sentral dari nilai-nilai suhu kecerahan dari sampel (perhitungan rerata dan standar deviasi) serta perhitungan jarak (D-value). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa data suhu kecerahan baik kanal 10 maupun kanal 11 Landsat-8 TIRS memiliki kemampuan yang baik dalam memisahkan burned area dan lahan terbuka, namun memiliki kemampuan yang rendah untuk memisahkan burned area dan permukiman. Dengan demikian, parameter suhu kecerahan belum bisa dipergunakan sebagai variabel tunggal untuk ekstraksi burned area pada suatu scene citra perekaman tunggal.

This research tried to detect a burned area that occurred in the mountainous region of Java Island. During this time, forest and land fires mostly occur in lowland areas in Sumatra and Kalimantan. However, it is possible that this phenomenon also occurs in mountainous regions, especially the mountainous regions of Java Island. The data used were Landsat-8, the latest generation of the Landsat series. The research location was on the Northeast slope of Mt. Ijen in East Java. The research methods include radiometric correction, data fusion, sample training retrieval, reflectance pattern analysis, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) extraction, separability analysis, parameter selection for burned area detection, parameter test, and evaluation. The results show that ρ5 and NBRL parameter shows the highest values of D-values (most sensitive), to detect the burned area. Then, compared to ρ5, NDVI and NBRS, Normalized Burn Ratio long (NBRL) provide better results in detecting burned areas.

Obtaining information on burned areas has been studied and improved in the last decades, and the biggest question is the acquisition of consistent and detailed information about the occurrence of burnings in a simple and effective way. In view of this, remote sensing is a very interesting tool because it allows obtaining information in large areas of difficult access. The identification of areas burned by orbital data is directly related to their spectral behavior. The objective of this study was to analyze the performance of spectral indices in the identification of burned area in OLI/Landsat-8 satellite images. The indices for the before and after fire images were calculated using bands of red and near infrared: NDVI, MSAVI, SAVI, and GEMI, and bands of near infrared and short wave infrared: NBR, BAIMmod, and MIRBImod. The difference between pre and post-fire index was also calculated: dNDVI, dMSAVI, dSAVI, dGEMI, dNBR, dBAIMmod, and dMIRBImod. From these indices, six different compositions (RGB) were created and later they were segmented and classified in a non-supervised way and soon after made the extraction of the area of interest. The results of this classification were validated with the reference data obtained through the visual interpretation of the image. The methods had shown a good quality of classification, with a percentage of accuracy ranging from 85.54 to 92.46% and Kappa value of 0.70 to 0.89. The best method was the dNBR, NBRpost-fire, and dMIRBImod indices in the RGB composite.

Abstract. In the current situation of frequent forest fires, the study of forest burned area mapping is important. However, there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of existing forest burning area mapping methods. Therefore, in this paper, an unsupervised method based on fire index enhancement and GRNN (General Regression Neural Network) is proposed for automated forest burned area mapping from single-date post-fire remote sensing imagery. The proposed method first uses adaptive spatial context information to enhance the generated fire index to improve its ability to indicate the burned areas. Then the uncertainty analysis is performed on the enhanced fire index to extract reliable burned samples and non-burned samples for subsequent classifier training. Finally, the improved GRNN model considering the spatial correlation of pixels is used as a classifier to binarize the enhanced fire index to generate the final burned area map. Based on two commonly used fire indexes, NBR (Normalized Burn Ratio) and BAI (Burned Area Index), this paper conducts burned area mapping experiments on a post-fire image of a forest area in Inner Mongolia, China to test the effectiveness of the proposed method, and two commonly used threshold methods (Otsu and Kmeans clustering) are also used to conduct burned area mapping based on threshold segmentation of fire index for comparison experiments. The experimental results prove the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. The proposed method is unsupervised and automated, so it has high application value and potential under the current situation of frequent forest fires.

<p>Bushfire is one of the dangerous natural manmade hazards. It can cause great damges to the air quality, human health, environment and bio-diversity. In addition, forest fires may be a potential and signigicant source of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. In early 2020, Australia experienced serious bushfires with over an area of estimated 18.6 million hectares burned, over 5,900 buidlings (including 2, 779 homes) destroyed, and at least 34 people (including three fire fighters) and billion animals and some endangered species killed. Subsequently, air quality was degraded to hazardous levels. It was estimated that about 360 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub> was emitted as of 2 Jan. 2020 by NASA. Remote sensing data has been instrumental for the environmental monitoring in particular the bushfire. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to detect the burned areas in the forest. However, it is challenging or even infeasible to routinely apply them by non-experts due to a chain of sophisticated schemes during their implementation. Here, we present a simple and effective method for mapping a burned area. The performances of different optical sensors and indices are conducted. Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat 8 data are ultilized for the comparison of burned forest by analyzing different indices (including NDVI, NDBR and newly development index Nomarlized Difference Laten Heat Index (NDLI)). The forest damages are estimated over the Katoombar, Austrialia and the burning severity map is generated and classified into eight levels (none, high regrowth, lowregrowth, unburned, low severity, moderate low severity, moderate high severity, and high severity). The comparision in results from Sentinel-2 MSI data and Landsat image is performed and presented.</p>
