IV - BURNED LAND MAPPING, FIRE SEVERITY DETERMINATION, AND VEGETATION RECOVERY ASSESSMENT
For this study case, in conclusion, the multiple thresholding with fixed values
seems to be the best classification method for this application: it
requires relatively fast processing, does not need either ground validation
or operators’ great expertise and gives fairly accurate results (especially
when images with a good temporal coverage are used).
