Abstract

Fires pose a risk that seriously threatens our daily lives. Nowadays, early fire detection has become important to minimize the damage caused by fires. In this paper, the performances of machine learning approaches in fire detection have been examined using MODIS and VIIRS remote sensing datasets. The experiments have been carried out in Kocaeli and Marmara region. Experimental results show that learning-based approaches can enable classification performance up to 97% in fire detection.
