Title
Disturbances in the Siberian boreal forest - mapping fire-scars using multitemporal, multisensor approach
Abstract
This paper summarizes a technique to map historical (1 to 10 years old) fire scars using a vegetation index, NDSWIR, based on the SWIR and NIR. A temporal set of NDSWIR SPOT-VGT images of Siberia were segmented and then recombined with the original NDSWIR images to form a per-pixel fire scar probability map. The results show a good agreement between the fire scar probability map, hotspot data and Landsat quicklooks, any discrepancies being accounted for by the differing dates of imagery and low resolution of SPOT-VGT.
