Abstract [en]
In recent years, wildfires have become major devastating hazards that affect both public safety and the environment. Thus, agile detection of the wildfires is desirable to suppress wildfires in the early stage. Owing to the high temporal resolution, GOES-R satellites offer capabilities to obtain images every 15 minutes enabling a near real-time monitoring of wildfires. In this research, a time-series-based deep learning framework, composed of Gated Recurrent Units(GRU), is proposed to capture the emerging of the wildfire at early stage. By feeding the embedding of the coarse satellite imagery to Deep GRU network, the active fires are segmented out from the remote sensing imagery. The preliminary results show that proposed network can detect the wildfires earlier than the state-of-the-art fire product for 2020 wildfires in California and British Columbia, at the same time provide sufficiently high accuracy on the burned areas.
