SYNERGISTIC USE OF OPTICAL AND RADAR DATA FOR RAPID MAPPING OF FOREST FIRES IN THE EUROPEAN MEDITERRANEAN

SYNERGISTIC USE OF OPTICAL AND RADAR DATA FOR RAPID MAPPING OF FOREST FIRES IN THE EUROPEAN MEDITERRANEAN

In a classical approach, optical data are being used for forest fire detection in a rush mode. Difficulties arise due to persistent cloud coverage, haze layers and smoke plumes. In contrast, radar measurements offer high acquisition rates because of their ability to penetrate clouds and their indepe...
