基于MODIS数据的森林火险时空分异规律研究

森林火灾严重危害生态环境,引起了全球的高度重视。将从MODIS(MODerate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer)中提取的活动火点与历史火烧痕迹进行比较研究,发现MOD14A1(火掩膜数据产品a daily Level 3 1-km fire hot spot product)中提取的8+9波段适合消防监测,与现场勘察数据相比较吻合度高达0.83。使用MOD14A1中8+9波段结合相关数据对这个区域的长达11年(2000—2010年)的森林火灾发生的时间和空间分析,结果表明：火灾发生频率最多的是春季,秋季次之,夏天概率最低,除非干旱。通过对研究区域黑龙江省分析,针叶林和温带针阔混交林过火面积所占比例分别为53.68%,44%,草原区过火面积较小为2.32%。大兴安岭是主要的燃烧区域,面积达到64.74%,小兴安岭约为23.49%,而其他区域面积不超过5%。且火灾发生的较大部分森林有个平缓的斜坡(≤5°),大部分处于中海拔(200 m≤H≤500 m)。因此,通过卫星遥感对森林火区区域的时间序列分析,阐明火灾活动规律和气候、地形、植被类型的相互关系,有助于预测火灾区域危险性等级。     

基于类间方差的MODIS森林火灾火点检测方法

提出一种基于火点与背景的类间方差和烟雾掩膜的红外光谱火点检测算法。该算法的潜在火点判定阈值设为305K,再利用MODIS热红外光谱通道亮温数据的类间方差值将森林火灾火点从背景中区分出来,并对低温闷烧火点采用烟雾掩膜进行识别。应用该算法对福建省和黑龙江地区的林火数据进行探测处理,与传统MODIS火点检测方法比较分析表明,该算法使用简单高效,在不同环境适应性较强,可以更准确地检测到高温明火点和一些低温闷烧火点,降低了火点的误报率和小火点的漏报率,检测效果更理想。     

Sub-pixel fire detection using Landsat-TM thermal data

Landsat-TM data has limitations in measuring high temperature fire zones. The thermal data saturate for temperatures above 68 °C and intense fires occupying less than a pixel requires modification of the methodology. The present paper describes the utility of Landsat-TM thermal data for estimation of surface temperature of sub-pixel fire. The method requires knowledge of the fire area. The temperature estimation from the method is found to be in good agreement with ground observations.     

基于多源卫星多光谱遥感数据的过火面积估算研究

露天生物质燃烧是重要的大气污染物排放源,导致空气质量恶化并引起气候变化。卫星遥感数据能够提供大尺度、多时相的监测信息,然而燃烧火点监测和火烧迹地监测两种方式都存在着局限性。以美国东南部地区为研究区域,通过结合卫星遥感获取的高分辨率燃烧面积数据及多时相的燃烧火点数据,建立时空匹配模型估算露天生物质燃烧过火面积。通过分析植被燃烧前后的光谱变化特征,基于高分辨率的Landsat-5 TM4波段(0.84 μm)与7波段(2.22 μm)数据, 利用差分归一化燃烧比(dNBR: the differential normalized burn ratio)提取燃烧面积数据;而燃烧火点数据则通过分析燃烧植被的热红外光谱特征利用MODIS 4与11 μm波段数据提取。结果显示,该地区燃烧面积与燃烧火点数量之间相关系数达0.63,并且二者之间的比例关系随植被类型而发生变化,林地、草地、灌木、耕地和沼泽五种植被类型对应的像元燃烧面积分别为0.69,1.27,0.86,0.72和0.94 km2。通过与美国火灾中心(national interagency fire center, NIFC)地面调查数据比对,模型估算的美国东南部过火面积数据较为精确,而同期的MODIS燃烧面积产品(MCD45)及燃烧源清单产品(global fire emissions database, GFED)遗漏了该区域大量的小面积燃烧事件。因此,本研究建立的过火面积估算模型能够提供更为精确的排放源参数信息,有利于区域空气质量模式准确地模拟露天生物质燃烧排放状况。     

Open-path Fourier transform infrared spectrometry characterization of low temperature combustion gases in biomass fuels

Accurate determination of gas concentration emitted during thermal degradation (pyrolysis) of biomass in forest fires is one of the keypoints in recent research on physical-based fire spread models. However, it is a very cumbersome task not well solved by classical invasive sensors and procedures. In this work, a methodology to use open-path Fourier transform-based infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometry has been applied as a remote sensing technique that permits in situ, non-intrusive and simultaneous measurements. Main gaseous by-products (CO, CO₂, CH₄ and NH₃) have been measured and quantified in terms of path-integrated concentrations. Different emission ratios have been determined for the species under study. These results can help to simplify the modelling of pyrolysis processes inside the physical-based models for fire spread.     

无人机视角下的林木爆燃火特性研究

森林火灾“爆燃”现象的特征是突然发生的高强度、高蔓延速度的燃烧。目前为止，关于“爆燃火”的原因还没有达成共识。以无人机视角下对林木爆燃火特性研究，以四川木里特大森林火灾为研究对象，通过分析凉山州某森林扑火部队3月31日木里森林火灾当天KWT（科卫泰）无人机航拍火场画面，结合无人机实时影像及实地调研数据，分析了峡谷地形林火蔓延时空特征，探讨了峡谷中风向风速变化时空分布规律，研究了地形变化条件下，不同海拔高度风速特征，建立了无人机倾角测量风速模型（其中为风速m·s-1，为无人机倾角°）。结果表明，高山峻岭特殊地形环境下每天4:00—12:00时间段为静风期，为峡谷林火扑救最佳时期；午后15:00—17:00和晚上20:00—22:00为山谷地形风速活跃期；仿真软件数据显示山顶、谷底与山腰不同海拔位置的风速风向不统一，谷底会产生乱流现象，且风速与海拔不存在正相关关系，小气候在复杂地形中占主导影响地位；在谷口至山谷深处的中间位置会出现气流速度的波峰状态，并易形成乱流，为爆燃火发生提供了客观必要条件。该研究可为复杂地形环境下，森林草原火灾扑救安全提供数据和技术支撑。     

Simulating forest fire spread and fire-fighting using cellular automata

In response to the transboundary haze problem in Southeast Asia, a physical model is adopted to simulate the spread and extinguishing of fire. This study is done in the context of Dumai, Indonesia, as it is one of the areas that significantly contribute to the haze problem. This model aims to provide perspectives on the persistence of forest fires despite fire-fighting efforts. While existing models using Huygens’ principle of wave propagation allow an understanding of the natural spread of fire, our model applies cellular automata to predict and analyse the effects of fire-fighting intervention strategies, with the spatial and propagation dynamics of fire considered. Cellular automata is an active area of research among physicists, and is widely used by chemists and biologists to model many types of natural phenomena. We note similarities between our model predictions and observations of real-world phenomena. Analyses on the factors that affect the spread of fire are presented, in order to understand which ones are dominant in differing situations. This provides insights on optimum conditions for fire-fighting efforts, and suggests guidelines that may be considered for fire control in future forest fires.

地下煤火燃烧在地表和近地面形成温度高于其周围环境的区域,可用热红外遥感技术监测地下煤火高温度区及热异常区。以内蒙古自治区乌达煤田火区为例,探索了利用不同季节夜间ASTER热红外光谱进行地下煤火监测方法。采样TES-ADE算法反演地表温度,阈值分割法提取煤火区,分析地表温度的季节变化规律、夜间与白天地表温度差异、煤火区分布格局及变化趋势。结果表明:(1)相对白天来说,夜间热红外光谱能够有效反演煤火区的地表温度,而且能够避免沙地、裸地与建筑物的干扰,提取的高温区基本都是煤火区;(2)相对其他季节来说,冬季热红外光谱是反演煤火区地表温度及提取煤火区的最佳时相,能有效区分煤火区与背景区;(3)冬季夜间热红外光谱能够有效监测煤火区的变化与分布格局。     

Intelligent computing based forecasting of deforestation using fire alerts: A deep learning approach

Deforestation is depletion of the forest cover and degradation in forest quality mainly through repeated fires, over-exploitation, and diseases. In a forest ecosystem, occurrence of wildfires is a natural phenomena. The curse of global warming and man-made interventions have made the wildfires increasingly extreme and widespread. Though, extremely challenging due to rapidly changing climate, accurate prediction of these fire events can significantly improve forestation worldwide. In this paper, we have addressed this issue by proposing a deep learning (DL) framework using long short term memory (LSTM) model. The proposed mechanism accurately forecasts weekly fire alerts and associated burnt area (ha) utilizing historical fire data provided by GLOBAL FOREST WATCH. Pakistan is taken as a case study since its deforestation rate is among the highest in the world while having one of the lowest forest covers. Number of epochs, dense layers, hidden layers and hidden layer units are varied to optimize the model for high estimation accuracy and low root mean square error (RMSE). Simulation results show that the proposed method can predict the forest fire occurrences with 95% accuracy by employing a suitable hyperparameter tuning.

利用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪对绿洲盐渍化土壤进行野外测量,采用光谱平滑迭代法对温度和发射率进行分离,得到了盐渍化土壤的热红外发射率数据。通过对盐渍化土壤发射率光谱的特征分析,得出8～13 μm土壤发射率随盐分含量的增加而减小,发射率光谱对盐分因子的响应在8～9.5 μm较敏感。分析了原始发射率光谱、一阶导数、二阶导数和标准化比值与含盐量之间的相关性,表明土壤发射率与含盐量呈负相关关系,发射率一阶导数与含盐量的相关性最高,相关系数最大为0.724 2,对应波段为8.370 745～8.390 880 μm。建立了土壤发射率一阶导数与盐分含量的二次函数回归模型,模型拟合的决定系数为0.741 4,验证结果的均方根误差为0.235 5,说明利用热红外发射率光谱反演土壤盐分含量的方法可行。     

Multi-band infrared imaging radiometer

A novel approach to multi-spectral thermal imaging using staring system has been developed. An original optical assembly has been designed set up and tested that allows to acquire simultaneously four images of the same target in different spectral bands using a single commercial IRFPA sensor and a single commercial focusing lens. The spectral and spatial separation of the four images is completely obtained by means of filters and refractive optics without any kind of scanning device or other moving part. The multi-spectral optic presented in this paper operates in the spectral region of middle infrared (3–5 μm). Spectral filters are used to select the appropriate bands of interest and they are easily interchangeable.     

红外大气折射率剖面分布模式

针对光电测量设备的大气折射误差实时修正以及红外激光传输研究等问题,利用2006年至2010年间在新疆戈壁地区获取的大气参数探空实验数据,计算得到了两个特定的波长,即1.32 m和4 m对应的大气折射率平均剖面分布,进而提出了一种实用的折射率剖面分布模式三参数指数分布模式。利用非线性最小二乘法,分别拟合得到了波长为1.32 m和4 m时的红外波在各季节内折射率的三参数指数剖面分布模式。采用统计得到的折射率剖面分布模式实时修正了光电设备的仰角测量数据,通过和实测模型的事后修正结果比较发现,二者的差值小于5,实现了对当地光学测量数据大气折射误差的实时、快速修正。

Fire safety distances for open pool fires

Fire accidents that carry huge loss with them have increased in the previous two decades than at any time in the history. Hence, there is a need for understanding the safety distances from different fires with different fuels. Fire safety distances are computed for different open pool fires. Diesel, gasoline and hexane are used as fuels for circular pool diameters of 0.5 m, 0.7 m and 1.0 m. A large square pool fire of 4 m × 4 m is also conducted with diesel as a fuel. All the prescribed distances in this study are purely based on the thermal analysis. IR camera is used to get the thermal images of pool fires and there by the irradiance at different locations is computed. The computed irradiance is presented with the threshold heat flux limits for human beings.     

Fenestration operation in middle ear bone with pulsed infrared lasers: an in-vivo study

The feasibility of fenestration operation in middle ear bone with pulsed infrared laser is evaluated. Healthy male New Zealand rabbits in vivo are used in the experiment. Middle ear mastoid bone of animal model is completely exposed with conventional methods, and then a pulsed CO2 laser （10.6 μm） and an Er：YAG laser （2.94 μm） are used to perform the fenestration operation. Diamond drill is also used as a control group. The total operation time and light irradiation time are recorded and the opening efficiency is assessed. The morphological changes and thermal damage around the opening window on the middle ear bone are examined. It is shown that both laser systems are suitable for the fenestration operation in middle ear bone, and this no-touch technique has a lot of benefits compared with traditional methods. The bleeding during operation has an important effect on operation time and thermal injury and needs to be controlled efficiently in further study.     

Pulsed laser damage of proustite

Pulsed laser damage thresholds have been measured for proustite (Ag₃ As S₃) as the wavelengths 0.694, 1.065, 1.32 and 10.6 μm. The damage thresholds have been found to vary with both the wavelength and duration of the irradiating pulse. At 1.065 μm damage thresholds are 0.38 J/cm² for pulses of duration <50 ns whilst for durations >50 ns a value of 7 MW/cm² is appropriate. The results suggest that damage is initiated by absorbing inclusions approximately 0.6 μm in diameter embedded within the crystals. These inclusions are heated by an incident pulse to cause catastrophic damage of both the surface and interior of an irradiated sample. A model has been developed to enable a study of the thermal behaviour of inclusions irradiated by laser pulses with Gaussian time-dependence to be made.     

辐射背景对岩石受力热红外光谱变化影响的实验研究

研究表明,岩石在加载过程中表面的红外辐射随应力发展而变化,而辐射信息的有效提取与辐射背景存在密切关系。通过理论分析不同实验环境对岩石受力热红外光谱变化影响,开展了花岗岩在室内外环境下的受力热红外光谱观测实验,分析了不同辐射背景下岩石红外辐射与应力的相关性以及由应力引发的辐射变化信息的强弱差异,并对两种环境下岩石应力热红外探测的优势波段进行了对比分析。结果表明,辐射背景对岩石受力热红外光谱探测结果有重要影响,室外环境因背景辐射较弱,相同应力作用下的红外辐射变化更加显著,与应力之间的相关程度更高,优势波段区间更宽,更加有利于岩石应力的热红外探测。8.0~11.8 μm波段是利用热红外遥感监测地表花岗岩应力变化的优势波段。

舰船尾迹和海面红外仿真成像

舰船在军事领域有着极其重要的地位,其尾迹对海面的温度和高度都会造成相较明显的变化,且具有持续时间长、不易消除等特点,所以模拟舰船尾迹和海面红外辐射图像可以更为直观地识别舰船目标,具有强烈的军事需求。以MODTRAN软件模拟的不同背景环境下大气对8μm～14μm波段的透过率为数据基础,结合Cox-Munk坡度概率分布模型并考虑海浪遮挡因素建立了一种舰船尾迹红外辐射模型,模拟了不同背景环境、不同探测距离的红外尾迹图像。仿真结果表明：相同探测条件下,随着探测距离增大,舰船尾迹辐射亮度减小,但粗糙海面对红外辐射的遮挡作用显著减弱,海面舰船尾迹更易被识别;大气传输模型对红外成像结果影响较大,夏季背景辐射能量大且海面平均遮挡作用小,舰船尾迹红外成像更为清晰。     

Mapping thermal exposure by luminescence thermometry

It has been shown in previous studies that residual geological thermoluminescence (TL) signals can be used to assess fire damage and thermal exposure, both of which are of some interest in archaeological contexts. Detailed studies of the removal of TL from pure alkali feldspars have shown systematic relations between measured glow curve parameters and the temperatures and durations of isothermal annealing. However, in most archaeological cases, the temperature-time profile is variable and unknown. To examine the relationship between TL characteristics and thermal history under more realistic conditions, a model hearthstone was constructed containing a three-dimensional matrix of 64 thermocouple and the spatial variations in temperature monitored during the course of two experimental fires. Cores were removed from the stone at 18 locations where direct thermocouple correlations could be made, and at a further two locations, to interpolate the radial temperature distribution. Each core was sectioned and samples extracted for TL and PSL analysis, thus providing a representative set of samples which had been exposed to different maximum temperatures and a dynamic thermal exposure. TL measurements were made from room temperature to 700°C using a UV-filtered reader, and PSL measurements were made using a high sensitivity infrared pulsed diode array. The TL results, parametrized in terms of the position of the residual geological signal, are compared with thermocouple data integrated with respect to time over the course of the known thermal exposure, taking account of the empirical form of the complementary temperature-time relationships deduced from studies of pure minerals. This provides a means of quantifying thermal exposure for a generalized thermal event, which can be directly related to measured luminescence indicators.
