Abstract :
The paper presents a multitemporal algorithm for the detection of burned areas using daily SPOT-VEGETATION multispectral remotely sensed data. The algorithm is based on a change detection approach, where the variation of the radiance due to the viewing/illumination geometry is explicitly taken into account. The algorithm, which has been developed in the framework of the GBA2000 initiative, has been applied to the Mexico for the dry season of year 2000.
