Presentation Transcript

  1. The Global Burnt Area 2000 initiative: GBA-2000 • Mapping, from SPOT-VEGETATION S1 imagery, of the areas burnt globally during the year 2000 • An overview • J-M. Grégoire • SAI-GVM • June 2001

  2. The Global Burnt Area 2000 initiative: GBA-2000 • A contribution to the Global Land Cover (GLC 2000) initiative • In response to the needs for environmental assessment of the • interactions • between biomass burning and land cover change: • Biodiversity, Desertification and Climate Change Conventions • between biomass burning and emissions of GHG & aerosols: • Climate Change Convention

  3. Biomass burning & land cover type/conditions three main situations • Regular & frequent burning is a characteristic of the land cover class • some kind of equilibrium between burning & land cover • example: African savannas of the Sudanian domain • Due to land use change, regular & frequent burning did appear recently, but is not a characteristic of the current land cover class • there is a progressive modification of the land cover type or conditions • example: degraded tropical forests • Burning is an exceptional event, and certainly not a characteristic • of the land cover class • there is a drastic & sudden modification of the land cover • example: fire events in evergreen rainforests of the tropical belt

  4. GBA-2000 Product definition • a binary map (burnt-unburnt) monthly non-accumulative global burn scar map, at 1 km resolution • statistics of burnt areas area burnt in 2000 per country, per month, and • per main types of vegetation cover (IGBP-DIS, Hansen et al., …….)

  5. GBA-2000 General approach • Selection of a limited number of co-investigators : 8 • criteria: access to validation data sets & field expertise/contacts • Development of regional algorithms for processing VGT S1 imagery • to burnt area maps • Integration of the regional algorithms into a global processing chain at JRC

  7. Who is responsible for what ? • SAI-GVM • purchase of the SPOT-VGT S1 time series (costs shared with CNES) • delivery (FTP, DAT, DLT …etc) of the regional datasets • contribute to the purchase of high resolution imagery for validation • implementation of the regional algorithms into a global processing chain • overall co-ordination • Regional Co-Investigators • development & test of the regionally adapted algorithms • performance assessment of the algorithms • delivery of the algorithms to GVM • contribution (tbd) to the validation of the end product

  8. Action plan & schedule July 00 Jan 01 July 01 Dec 01 July 02 • Data delivery to Co-I • Development & test of regional algorithms • Performance assessment • of regional algorithms • Consensus on set of regional algorithms • Integration of regional algo. into proc. chain • Generation of the GBA product • Accuracy assessment of the GBA product • Product dissemination

  9. GBA-2000 Methodological component

  10. Pre-processing of the SPOT-VGT S1 time series • Masking • for clouds & cloud shadows (adapted fromKempeneers et al.,2000) • for extreme viewing zenith angles (> 50o) • for max. NDVI composite areas (+/- 32o Lat.) • for non-burnable areas • . IGBP-DIS (EDC/USGS) • . Simple Biosphere Model 2 (EDC) • . Maryland Global Landcover Dataset (Hansen et al., 2000)

  11. Processing of the SPOT-VGT S1 to burnt area maps 3 approaches currently tested All based on change detection techniques in NIR, SWIR & NDWI • Supervised temporal change detection techniques, on a pixel basis • applied to single date images (NRI, Flasse et al.; UTL, Pereira et al.) • non consecutive images: 5-day cycle (Boschetti et al., 2001) • Supervised temporal change detection techniques, on a pixel basis • applied to composite images (JRC, Stroppiana et al., 2001; IFI, Ershov et al.) • compositing = 10-day, min NIR • Supervised temporal change detection techniques, on a pixel basis but • with a spatial dependency (CNR, Brivio et al.) • applied to single date images • contextual window 3x3 • neural network approach

  14. Performance analysis • of the algorithm • regression estimator, over the regions • covered by TM data • overall accuracy • omission & comission errors of the classification • evaluation, on a grid basis over the • entire region classified to BA • Output • for each classification • overall accuracy of the map • overall accuracy of the algorithm • levels of under and overestimation

  15. Performances of the algorithm BA map derived from high resolution imagery (TM) Set of BA maps derived from SPOT-VGT 1 map for each classification tool Samples (14 x 14 km) randomly distributed Regression estimator regression line: overall accuracy 1 to 1 line: level of omission and comission errors
