Field Measurements for the Training and Validation of Burn Severity Maps from Spaceborne, Remotely Sensed Imagery. Final Project Report. Joint Fire Science Program-2001-2

摘要

This Joint Fire Science Program project provided support for scientists to collect geo-referenced field observations pertaining to burn severity and vegetation condition for the purpose of refining and validating satellite image-derived Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC) products used to create maps of burn severity used by Burn Area Emergency Response (BAER) teams. The advantages of utilizing BARC data to derive burn severity maps include rapid availability of the BARC products and an unbiased and repeatable methodology.
