DETECTION AND MONITORING OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FIRES ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE USING THE DATA OF SATELLITE SCANNING

Abstract

The study presents the classification of systems for fires detection and monitoring including forest fires according to the method of fires data collection. In Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of State Emergency Service of Ukraine and National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine are developed the methods of heat emissions geocoding from data provided by artificial satellites in order to obtain information about the geographic features in which these emissions are recorded. The original method for detecting forest and other potentially dangerous fires is also developed in the Institute. We created the cartographic and analytical system for monitoring heat emissions and detecting potentially dangerous fires that successfully passed check studies and is used in operations of State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
