Detection of forest fires using satellites imagery
TL;DRAbstract
In graduation thesis the use of EUMETSAT's MPEF FIRG and NASA's forest fires tool is discussed. Study area are 5 forest fires chosen by their characteristics, this fires are: Komen (21.7.2006), Dubrovnik (5.-8.8.2007), Tolmin (1.1.2008), ŠkofjaLoka (31.3.2011) and Pivka (13.7.2011). Additionally to comparison of EUMETSAT's and NASA's tool, a discussion of thermal channels is made, using MSG1 and MSG2 data. \nClimate changes poses specific climate, which we aren't used to. Very high temperatures and dry seasons are seen every year, in this specific conditions number of forest fires is increasing. Our main goal is to detect fires as soon as possible. Satellite imagery and specific algorithms are valuable tools in thermal anomaly detection. Satellite fire detection is used from 1980. \nkorišča že od leta 1980. \n
