Abstract

In this work, an innovative approach, based on a multi-temporal satellite data analysis, named RST (Robust Satellite Technique), which has already been successfully applied for the monitoring of major natural and environmental risks, has been proposed for the detection of forest fires in near real time. RST is applied in the case of some important forest fires occurred in Northern Italy in recent years using MIR sensors onboard polar (NOAA-AVHRR) and geostationary (MSG-SEVIRI) satellites, moreover, in order to assess the technique performances, also a comparison with well-established MODIS fire algorithm is carried out.
