An algorithm for mapping burnt areas in Australia using SPOT-VEGETATION data

An algorithm has been developed to map burnt areas over the Australian continent using SPOT-VEGETATION (VGT) S1 satellite images. The algorithm is composed of a set of thresholds applied to each pixel's value of the VGT spectral channels, two spectral indices and their temporal difference. The...
