Burned areas mapping by multispectral imagery: a case study in Sicily, summer 2000 279
Figure 1 - Tmax /Tmed 26th June 2007 (data: SIAS).
The zone chosen for experimentation (Figure 2) is in centre-eastern Sicily.
In the single image approach the extension of the analysed area is the same
as the one covered by the ASTER image, that is 60 Km x 60 Km, and
includes almost completely the province of Enna and portions of the
provinces of Palermo, Catania and Caltanissetta, whilst in the changedetection
technique it is much smaller, just about 2873 square kilometres,
as it consists only of the area resulting from the overlapping of the two
images used.
