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.

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.

Abstract Forest/land fire give bad impact of heavy smoke on peatland area in Indonesia. Forest/land fire smoke need to be identified the distribution periodically. New satellite of GCOM-C has been launched to monitor climate condition and have visible, near infrared and thermal infrared. This study has objective to identify fire smoke from GCOM-C data. GCOM-C data has wavelength range from 0.38 to 12 μm it covers visible, near infrared, short-wave infrared and thermal infrared. It is relatively similar to MODIS or Himawari-8 images which could identify forest/land fire smoke. The methodology is visual interpretation to detect forest/land fire smoke using near infrared band (VN08), shortwave infrared band (SW03), and thermal bands (T01 and T02). Hotspot data is overlaid with GCOM-C image to represent the location of fire events. Combination of composite RGB image has been applied to detect forest/land fire smoke. GCOM-C image of VN8 bands and combination of thermal band in composite image could be used to detect fire smoke in Pulang Pisau, Central Kalimantan.

Wildfires have major ecological, social and economic consequences. Information about the extent of burned areas is essential to assess these consequences and can be derived from remote sensing data. Over the last years, several methods have been developed to segment burned areas with satellite imagery. However, these methods mostly require extensive preprocessing, while deep learning techniques—which have successfully been applied to other segmentation tasks—have yet to be fully explored. In this work, we combine sensor-specific and methodological developments from the past few years and suggest an automatic processing chain, based on deep learning, for burned area segmentation using mono-temporal Sentinel-2 imagery. In particular, we created a new training and validation dataset, which is used to train a convolutional neural network based on a U-Net architecture. We performed several tests on the input data and reached optimal network performance using the spectral bands of the visual, near infrared and shortwave infrared domains. The final segmentation model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.98 and a kappa coefficient of 0.94.

A spatially distributed land surface temperature is important for many studies. The recent launch of the Sentinel satellite programs paves the way for an abundance of opportunities for both large area and long-term investigations. However, the spatial resolution of Sentinel-3 thermal images is not suitable for monitoring small fragmented fields. Thermal sharpening is one of the primary methods used to obtain thermal images at finer spatial resolution at a daily revisit time. In the current study, the utility of the TsHARP method to sharpen the low resolution of Sentinel-3 thermal data was examined using Sentinel-2 visible-near infrared imagery. Compared to Landsat 8 fine thermal images, the sharpening resulted in mean absolute errors of ~1 °C, with errors increasing as the difference between the native and the target resolutions increases. Part of the error is attributed to the discrepancy between the thermal images acquired by the two platforms. Further research is due to test additional sites and conditions, and potentially additional sharpening methods, applied to the Sentinel platforms.

Super Resolution Mapping

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.

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.

Abstract. In this paper we introduce the new concept of directionally dependent Lambertian-equivalent reflectivity (DLER) of the Earth's surface retrieved from satellite observations. This surface DLER describes Lambertian (isotropic) surface reflection which is extended with a dependence on the satellite viewing geometry. We apply this concept to data of the GOME-2 satellite instruments to create a global database of the reflectivity of the Earth's surface, providing surface DLER for 26 wavelength bands between 328 and 772 nm as a function of the satellite viewing angle via a second-degree polynomial parameterisation. The resolution of the database grid is 0.25∘ by 0.25∘, but the real, intrinsic spatial resolution varies over the grid from 1.0∘ by 1.0∘ to 0.5∘ by 0.5∘ down to 0.25∘ by 0.25∘ by applying dynamic gridding techniques. The database is based on more than 10 years (2007–2018) of GOME-2 data from the MetOp-A and MetOp-B satellites. The relation between DLER and bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) surface reflectance is studied using radiative transfer simulations. For the shorter wavelengths (λ<500 nm), there are significant differences between the two. For instance, at 463 nm the difference can go up to 6 % at 30∘ solar zenith angle. The study also shows that, although DLER and BRDF surface reflectances have different properties, they are comparable for the longer wavelengths (λ>500 nm). Based on this outcome, the GOME-2 surface DLER is compared with MODIS surface BRDF data from MODIS band 1 (centred around 645 nm) using both case studies and global comparisons. The conclusion of this validation is that the GOME-2 DLER compares well to MODIS BRDF data and that it does so much better than the non-directional LER database. The DLER approach for describing surface reflectivity is therefore an important improvement over the standard isotropic (non-directional) LER approaches used in the past. The GOME-2 surface DLER database can be used for the retrieval of atmospheric properties from GOME-2 and from previous satellite instruments like GOME and SCIAMACHY. It will also be used to support retrievals from the future Sentinel-5 UVNS (ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared) satellite instrument.

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.

<p>Assessment of rural fire severity is fundamental to evaluate fire damages and to analyze recovery processes in a low-cost and efficient way. Burnt areas covering shrubs and grasslands were estimated in more than 30,000 km<sup>2</sup>  in Argentina from December 2016 to January 2017. The study area presented in this work is located in the South of the Buenos Aires province, and it covers a semiarid area with the presence of xerophilous shrubs and grasslands. This is one of the most abundant ecosystem in Central and Southern Argentina. Field campaigns were carried out over the area affected by the fire in order to georreference the burnt plots and characterized the fire severity in 5 levels. The objective of this work is to analyze the feasibility of new satellites Sentinel-2 for fire studies, as well as provide a comparison to Landsat-8 derived results, because this mission has been one of the most used in it. Pre-fire and postfire Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 imagery were used to analyze different band combinations to compute a Normalized Difference Spectral Index (NDSI), as well as the difference of this index before and after the fire (dNDSI). Results show a significant correlation (R<sup>2</sup> =0.72 and estimation error of 0.77) between dNDSI derived from Sentinel-2 and the severity levels obtained in the field campaign using bands 8a and 12 (NIR and SWIR), the same bands as used in the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR). Moreover, results derived from Sentinel-2 are better than results derived from Landsat-8 (R<sup>2</sup> =0.63 and estimation error of 0.92). Furthermore, it is observed that the correlation is improved when Sentinel-2 bands 6 and 5 (located in the Red-Edge region) are considered (R<sup>2</sup> =0.74 and estimation error of 0.76). An inverse correlation has been observed between the recovery of vegetation four months after the fire and the fire severity level.</p>

Abstract. To make advances in the fire discipline, as well as in the study of CO2 emissions, it is of great interest to develop a global database with estimators of the degree of biomass consumed by fire, which is defined as burn severity. In this work we present the first global burn severity database (MOSEV database), which is based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance and burned area (BA) products from November 2000 to near real time. To build the database we combined Terra MOD09A1 and Aqua MYD09A1 surface reflectance products to obtain dense time series of the normalized burn ratio (NBR) spectral index, and we used the MCD64A1 product to identify BA and the date of burning. Then, we calculated for each burned pixel the difference of the NBR (dNBR) and its relativized version (RdNBR), as well as the post-burn NBR, which are the most commonly used burn severity spectral indices. The database also includes the pre-burn NBR used for calculations, the date of the pre- and post-burn NBR, and the date of burning. Moreover, in this work we have compared the burn severity metrics included in MOSEV (dNBR, RdNBR and post-burn NBR) with the same ones obtained from Landsat-8 scenes which have an original resolution of 30 m. We calculated the Pearson's correlation coefficients and the significance of the relationships using 13 pairs of Landsat scenes randomly distributed across the globe, with a total BA of 6904 km2 (n=32 163). Results showed that MOSEV and Landsat-8 burn severity indices are highly correlated, particularly the post-burn NBR (R=0.88; P<0.001), and dNBR (R=0.74; P<0.001) showed stronger relationships than RdNBR (R=0.42; P<0.001). Differences between MOSEV and Landsat-8 indices are attributable to variability in reflectance values and to the different temporal resolution of both satellites (MODIS: 1–2 d; Landsat: 16 d). The database is structured according to the MODIS tiling system and is freely downloadable at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4265209 (Alonso-González and Fernández-García, 2020).
