Forest fire is one of the important problems in Iran which is caused by different factors such as human and natural factors. One of these factors is climate conditions that can be created by heat wave and special circulation of atmospheric phenomena. Occurrence of forest fire in north of Iran have different impacts on environment such as destruction of natural. According to the position of Iran...
متن کاملSynergistic Use of Optical and Radar Data for Rapid Mapping of Forest Fires in the European Mediterranean
In a classical approach, optical data are being used for forest fire detection in a rush mode. Difficulties arise due to persistent cloud coverage, haze layers and smoke plumes. In contrast, radar measurements offer high acquisition rates because of their ability to penetrate clouds and their independence of sun illumination. However, a visual interpretation of radar data is generally less intu...
متن کاملAn Operational Forest Mapping Tool Using Spaceborne Sar Data
SAR data has been shown to offer useful information for forestry applications, and especially in cases of major forest change such as that caused by severe storms or fires. In these situations, the possibility of exploiting radar remotely sensed data which is not affected by phenomena such as water vapour, smoke or clouds provides great advantages with respect to optical sensors. Under these ci...
متن کاملMulti-sensor Rapid Fire Damage Assessment over Mediterranean Area
Several studies have clearly demonstrated the capability of suitable algorithms based on satellite images to detect fires scars by using optical and radar data. In the near infrared region (0.7-1.3 micron) green vegetation shows high reflectance values compared to the most other natural surfaces. In general this region of the spectrum contains the most useful information on burned surface detec...
متن کاملForest and Forest Change Mapping with C- and L-band Sar in Liwale, Tanzania
As part of a Tanzanian-Norwegian cooperation project on Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) for REDD+, 2007-2011 Cand L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter data from Envisat ASAR and ALOS Palsar, respectively, have been processed, analysed and used for forest and forest change mapping over a study side in Liwale District in Lindi Region, Tanzania. Land cover observations fro...
