• Abstract: Wildfire detection using satellite images is a widely studied task in remote sensing with many applications to fire delineation and mapping. Recently, deep learning methods have become a scalable solution to automate this task, especially in the field of unsupervised learning where no training data is available. This is particularly important in the context of emergency risk monitoring where fast and effective detection is needed, generally based on high-resolution satellite data. Among various approaches, Anomaly Detection (AD) appears to be highly potential thanks to its broad applications in computer vision, medical imaging, as well as remote sensing. In this work, we build upon the framework of Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE), a popular reconstruction-based AD method with discrete latent spaces, to perform unsupervised burnt area extraction. We integrate VQ-VAE into an end-to-end framework with an intensive post-processing step using dedicated vegetation, water and brightness indexes. Our experiments conducted on high-resolution SPOT-6/7 images provide promising results of the proposed technique, showing its high potential in future research on unsupervised burnt area extraction.
