• Abstract summary: We propose a wildfire identification solution to improve the accuracy of automated satellite-based hotspot detection systems. We cross-reference the thermal anomalies detected by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) hotspot services. Then, we propose a novel supervised machine learning approach to disambiguate hotspot detections, distinguishing between wildfires and other events.

• Abstract: The increasing frequency of catastrophic natural events, such as wildfires, calls for the development of rapid and automated wildfire detection systems. In this paper, we propose a wildfire identification solution to improve the accuracy of automated satellite-based hotspot detection systems by leveraging multiple information sources. We cross-reference the thermal anomalies detected by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) hotspot services with the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) database to construct a large-scale hotspot dataset for wildfire-related studies in Europe. Then, we propose a novel multimodal supervised machine learning approach to disambiguate hotspot detections, distinguishing between wildfires and other events. Our methodology includes the use of multimodal data sources, such as the ERSI annual Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and the Copernicus Sentinel-3 data. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in the task of wildfire identification.

  Leveraging remote sensed data from satellite networks and advanced AI models to automatically detect hotspots is an effective way to build wildfire monitoring systems. We propose a novel dataset containing time series of remotely sensed data related to European fire events and a Self-Supervised Learning (SSL)-based model able to analyse multi-temporal data and identify hotspots in potentially near real time. We train and evaluate the performance of our model using our dataset and Thraws, a dataset of thermal anomalies including several fire events, obtaining an F1 score of 63.58.

  This dataset is curated from Sentinel-2 multi-spectral data and Sentinel-5P aerosol product. Each patch has a size of 512$times$512 pixels with 13 bands. The results suggest that, in contrast to using all bands for wildfire detection, selecting specific band combinations yields superior performance.

We use FLOGA to provide a thorough comparison of multiple Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms for the automatic extraction of burnt areas.

  Research has shown that climate change creates warmer temperatures and drier conditions, leading to longer wildfire seasons and increased wildfire risks in the U.S. We present our work on integrating multiple data sources in SmokeyNet, a deep learning model usingtemporal information to detect smoke from wildland fires. With a time-to-detection of only a few minutes, SmokeyNet can serve as an automated early notification system, providing a useful tool in the fight against destructive wildfires.

  This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization formulation for the joint problem of fusion and detection, and then unrolls to a target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning (TarDAL) network for fusion and a commonly used detection network.

  We propose a method for detecting structural changes in a city using images captured from mounted cameras over two different times. A direct comparison of the two point clouds for change detection is not ideal due to inaccurate geo-location information. To circumvent this problem, we propose a deep learning-based non-rigid registration on the point clouds. Experiments show that our method is able to detect scene changes effectively, even in the presence of viewpoint and illumination differences.
