Automatic Methodology for Forest Fire Mapping with SuperDove Imagery

Articolo
Data di Pubblicazione:
2024
Abstract:
The global increase in wildfires due to climate change highlights the need for accurate wildfire mapping. This study performs a proof of concept on the usefulness of SuperDove imagery for wildfire mapping. To address this topic, we present an automatic methodology that combines the use of various vegetation indices with clustering algorithms (bisecting k-means and k-means) to analyze images before and after fires, with the aim of improving the precision of the burned area and severity assessments. The results demonstrate the potential of using this PlanetScope sensor, showing that the methodology effectively delineates burned areas and classifies them by severity level, in comparison with data from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS). Thus, the potential of the SuperDove satellite sensor constellation for fire monitoring is highlighted, despite its limitations regarding radiometric distortion and the absence of Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) bands, suggesting that the methodology could contribute to better fire management strategies.
