Coal Fire Risk Areas: DFD Remote Sensing Analysis Results

Further risk areas are: UL: 4358000 N, 634000 E, LR: 4340000N, 646000 E / UL: 4370000 N, 674000 E, LR: 4362000N, 680000 E / UL: 4350000 N, 616000 E, LR: 4336000N, 624000 E (all UTM, Zone 48 North, WGS 84)

Monitoring coal fire risk areas can enable a rapid response to coal fires at their initial stage. Coal fire fighting at the initial stage increases the probability to control and extinguish the fire it with low effort.The following maps present the demarcated coal fire areas and coal fire risk areas retrieved from automated coal fire area demarcation. The maps show recent and probable future coal fire areas, which should stay under a regular investigation.

The maps contain information on the setting of the region (based on the satellite data available), automatically extracted coal surfaces, automatically demarcated coal fire risk areas and automatically extracted pixels of pyrometamorphic rock. Furthermore, thermal anomalies detected by the thermal algorithm are superimposed on the maps. Thermal anomalies are differentiated for anomalies located within the demarcated coal fire area and anomalies outside these areas. All maps are presented in the UTM coordinate system.
