A research on fire automatic recognition using MODIS data

Fire automatic recognition is the key of increasing the response-speed in fire detection using Remote Sensing. Daxinganling region in China lies in the transition zone from the forest to the meadow-steppe, in which fires happen frequently. In this study, Daxinganling was selected as the experiment region and a fire automatic recognition model applicable to regions in China was developed based on the fire algorithm proposed by the MODIS fire team. The fire automatic recognition model and the results of its applications were discussed in this paper.
