    摘要: Systems and methods are described for the global, rapid, and automatic detection of wildfire activity. Such systems and methods may also classify wildfires based on a new severity classification scheme. Wildfire activity may be tracked as wildfires migrate, grow, and combine. Additionally, because satellite systems currently collect over 4 million fire observations per year, a filtering mechanism is introduced to remove benign anthropogenic fires. To classify wildfire severity for generating alerts, the present disclosure also provides a logarithmic severity classification system based on 24-hour cumulative Fire Radiative Power (FRP).

    摘要: A region determining device includes a likelihood calculating unit that calculates a likelihood of wetness of a pixel in an image including a plurality of frames, a non-water pixel measuring unit that measures the number of non-water pixels in which the likelihood falls within a first non-water range in any one of determination regions to be determined in the respective frames, a boundary pixel measuring unit that measures the number of boundary pixels in which the likelihood falls within a first water range in any one of the determination regions and the likelihood falls within a second non-water range in any one of the determination regions, and a region determining unit that determines whether the determination region satisfies a predetermined determination condition based on the number of non-water pixels and the number of boundary pixels.
