"This thesis deals with fire monitoring using remote sensing images. The first part of this thesis is devoted to novel global wildland fire detection algorithms, while the remainder concerns mapping of fire regions in high resolution remote sensing images. As a major natural disturbance that has tremendous impact on the environment, humans and the climate, fire is drawing increased attention from both scientists and the general public alike. The most practical and economically feasible manner of monitoring wild land fires is through remote sensing. To date, remote fire detection has been an active research field for many years and a number of algorithms have been proposed for processing satellite and airborne image data. Different from the current algorithms used in forest fire detection, this thesis proposes new approaches based on statistics and image models. These approaches are brought forward using different statistical image models. They incorporate the statistical properties of multi-spectral images and essentially treat fire pixels as anomalies in images. These algorithms discriminate fire pixels based on the Mahalanobis distance in multi-spectral feature space. The use of the Mahalanobis distance naturally incorporates the covariance of the multi-spectral image into the decision and requires the setting of a single detection threshold. ... We demonstrate the flexibility of our algorithm with images taken by two different types of sensors, the MODIS sensors and the Wildfire Airborne Sensor Project (WASP). ... To estimate the extent and spread of wild-land fires in high spatial resolution multi-spectral images, we propose fuzzy clustering algorithms to map fire extent, the active fire front, hot burn scar and smoke region based on a statistical model"--Abstract.

Download Remote Sensing Modeling and Applications to Wildland Fires Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Scientists and managers alike need timely, cost-effective, and technically appropriate fire-related information to develop functional strategies for the diverse fire communities. "Remote Sensing Modeling and Applications to Wildland Fires" addresses wildland fire management needs by presenting discussions that link ecology and the physical sciences from local to regional levels, views on integrated decision support data for policy and decision makers, new technologies and techniques, and future challenges and how remote sensing might help to address them. While creating awareness of wildland fire management and rehabilitation issues, hands-on experience in applying remote sensing and simulation modeling is also shared. This book will be a useful reference work for researchers, practitioners and graduate students in the fields of fire science, remote sensing and modeling applications. Professor John J. Qu works at the Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science at George Mason University (GMU), USA. He is the Founder and Director of the Environmental Science and Technology Center (ESTC) and EastFIRE Lab at GMU.

Download Wildland Fire Danger Estimation and Mapping Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The book presents a wide range of techniques for extracting information from satellite remote sensing images in forest fire danger assessment. It covers the main concepts involved in fire danger rating, and analyses the inputs derived from remotely sensed data for mapping fire danger at both the local and global scale. The questions addressed concern the estimation of fuel moisture content, the description of fuel structural properties, the estimation of meteorological danger indices, the analysis of human factors associated with fire ignition, and the integration of different risk factors in a geographic information system for fire danger management.

Download Fire Effects on Soil Properties Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Wildland fires are occurring more frequently and affecting more of Earth's surface than ever before. These fires affect the properties of soils and the processes by which they form, but the nature of these impacts has not been well understood. Given that healthy soil is necessary to sustain biodiversity, ecosystems and agriculture, the impact of fire on soil is a vital field of research. Fire Effects on Soil Properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical, biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field, it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world, dealing with ash, meso and macrofauna, smouldering fires, recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils. It also describes current best practice methodologies for research and monitoring of fire effects and new methodologies for future research. This is the first time information on this topic has been presented in a single volume and the book will be an important reference for students, practitioners, managers and academics interested in the effects of fire on ecosystems, including soil scientists, geologists, forestry researchers and environmentalists.

Download Remote Sensing of Large Wildfires Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The book provides a systematic review of the different applications for remote sensing and geographical information system techniques in research and management of forest fires. The authors have been involved in this field of research for several years. The book also benefits from data generated within the Megafires project, founded under the DG-XII of the European Union. A clear integration of research and experience is provided. New data gathered from fires affecting European countries between 1991 and 1997 are included as well as satellite images and auxiliary cartographic information. Geographic Information System files have been included in the attached CD-ROM depicting land cover, elevation, Koeppen classification climates and NOAA-AVHRR data of all European Mediterranean Europe at 1 sq km resolution. All these files are in Idrisi format and can be easily accessed from any GIS program. An Idrisi viewer has also been included in the CD-ROM.

Download First Order Fire Effects Model Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) was developed to predict the direct consequences of prescribed fire and wildfire. FOFEM computes duff and woody fuel consumption, smoke production, and fire-caused tree mortality for most forest and rangeland types in the United States. The model is available as a computer program for PC or Data General computer.
