Forests represent the lung of our planet. Wildfires constitute one of the major problems facing the forest ecosystem in the world. In the last decades number of forest fires has been increased due to the increasing in the human activities and climate change. Fast alarm for forest fires is very crucial issue to prevent their spread. In this book we employed satellite images together with artificial neural networks to build a very fast alarm system for forest fire detection. The satellite NOAA-AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) images are used here. The TAGged Adaptive Resonance Theory ART-TAG Artificial Neural Network ANN is employed. ART-TAG is a supervised form for Compact Fuzzy ART. Burned Area Mapping System (BAMS) and Fire Detection System (FDS) have been built. Integrated Fire Evolution Monitoring System (IFEMS) has been constructed by integrating BAMS and FDS. IFEMS has the ability to distinguish burned area, area in active fire, and area beneath flames. Moreover, it has the ability to detect Fires that occur between two consecutive images and tracing sub pixel fires as well.

by Genanaw Alemu (Author)
Forest of the world is under serious threat owing to deforestation and fire. It is vital to understand the extent and pattern of deforestation to devise strategies before the problem results in massive environmental impact. On top of this identifying the degree of susceptibility of the forest to forest fire is also plays the same role. However, determining the extent and pattern of deforestation and identifying the level of susceptibility of the forest to fire is challenging by traditional approach. Thus, this book provides a technique to determine the extent, pattern and rate of deforestation. Moreover, it provides a method to analyze the degree susceptibility of the forest to forest fire. Although fire is one of the devastating factors for most vegetation,surprisingly it creates favorable condition for ericaceous vegetation of Ethiopian highland. The analysis in this book provides help to utilize GIS and remote sensing for forest fire susceptibility analysis, cover change detection and land cover pattern analysis. Particularly it offers useful information to professionals in GIS and remote sensing ,forestry, and agriculture fields.

Remote Sensing of Large Wildfires: in the European Mediterranean Basin
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsHardcover – August 13, 1999
by Emilio Chuvieco (Editor)
The book gives a systematic review of the different applications of remote sensing and geographical information system techniques in research and management of forest fires. The authors have been involved in this topic of research for several years, resulting in more than 100 papers in highly rated journals and proceedings. The book also benefits from data generated within the Megafires project, founded under the DG-XII of the European Union. Most of the contributors to this book have been involved in the Megafires project, and therefore a clear integration of research and experience is provided. New data from fires affecting European countries between 1991 and 1997 are included as well as satellite images and auxiliary cartographic information.

Geographic Information and Cartography for Risk and Crisis Management: Towards Better Solutions
Rated 0 out of 5

by Milan Konecny (Editor), Sisi Zlatanova (Editor), Temenoujka L. Bandrova (Editor)
Cartography and geographic information (GI) are remarkably appropriate for the requirements of early warning (EW) and crisis management (CM). The use of geospatial technology has increased tremendously in the last years. ICT has changed from just using maps created in advance, to new approaches, allowing individuals (decision-makers) to use cartography interactively, on the basis of individual user's requirements. The new generation of cartographic visualizations based on standardisation, formal modelling, use of sensors, semantics and ontology, allows for the better adaptation of information to the needs of the users. In order to design a new framework in pre-disaster and disaster management safety/security/privacy aspects of institutions and citizens need to be considered. All this can only be achieved by demonstrating new research achievements, sharing best practices (e.g. in the health area) and working towards the wider acceptance of geospatial technology in society, with the help of education and media.
This book will outline research frontiers and applications of cartography and GI in EW and CM and document their roles and potentials in wider processes going on in information/knowledge-based societies.

0 Reviews2008th Edition
by Emilio Chuvieco (Editor)
Global Change is increasingly considered a critical topic in environmental research. Remote sensing methods provide a useful tool to monitor global variables, since they provide a systematic coverage of the Earth’s surface, at different spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. This book offers an analysis of the leading missions in global Earth observation, and reviews the main fields in which remote sensing methods are providing vital data for global change studies.

by John J. Qu(Editor), William Sommers(Editor), Ruixin Yang(Editor), Allen Riebau(Editor), Menas Kafatos(Editor)
Scientists and managers alike need timely, cost-effective, and technically appropriate fire-related information to develop functional strategies for the diverse fire communities. "Remote Sensing Modeling and Applications to Wildland Fires" addresses wildland fire management needs by presenting discussions that link ecology and the physical sciences from local to regional levels, views on integrated decision support data for policy and decision makers, new technologies and techniques, and future challenges and how remote sensing might help to address them. While creating awareness of wildland fire management and rehabilitation issues, hands-on experience in applying remote sensing and simulation modeling is also shared. This book will be a useful reference work for researchers, practitioners and graduate students in the fields of fire science, remote sensing and modeling applications.
Professor John J. Qu works at the Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science at George Mason University (GMU), USA. He is the Founder and Director of the Environmental Science and Technology Center (ESTC) and EastFIRE Lab at GMU.

Wildland Fire Danger Estimation and Mapping: The Role of Remote Sensing Data
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews
by Emilio Chuvieco (Editor)
The book presents a wide range of techniques for extracting information from satellite remote sensing images in forest fire danger assessment. It covers the main concepts involved in fire danger rating, and analyses the inputs derived from remotely sensed data for mapping fire danger at both the local and global scale. The questions addressed concern the estimation of fuel moisture content, the description of fuel structural properties, the estimation of meteorological danger indices, the analysis of human factors associated with fire ignition, and the integration of different risk factors in a geographic information system for fire danger management.
