Mapping and inventory of forest fires from digital processing of tm data
Abstract
The application of space‐borne sensors to forest fire mapping and inventory was evaluated. Digital image processing of Thematic Mapper data was used to study a big forest fire on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The results showed that image processing techniques cannot discriminate perfectly the area affected by the fire. The main problem was spectral overlapping between burned and unburned vegetation especially caused by the sparseness of shrub and confusion with other cover types such as urban/rural villages. Most of these problems can be solved by using visual analysis for masking the affected area, although this strategy is not completely reliable on studies of small forest fires. An inventory of the damaged area was performed in three levels: total area affected by the fire, area by previous vegetation species, and identification of levels of damaged on the burned vegetation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
