Forest Fire Detection With Satellite Images For Fire Control

Divyani Anerao, Shreya Jangam, Priyanka Thakur, Dhanashree Tryambake

Abstract


The software is to be developed for automatic detection of forest fires. Fire detection is based on data points collected by NASA's MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro radiometer). The MODIS contains data points which are classified into various bands. This Software is aiming to detect the fire in forest that is on land areas. The band 3 of MODIS is dedicated to lands. Therefore, the data points are processed after extracting the band 3. This algorithm involves masking of water and cloud to get more accurate output. The masking is done to eliminate unwanted disturbance in the satellite image.
Fire detection on satellite images is an important method. 3 classes were industrial sites that can be excluded based on their knows location. This shows that satellite based detection of forest fires has potential for fire control purposes provided that the supply of the mid-infrared satellite data in day time is frequent.
