Background • Earth observation data has been highly effective in environmental monitoring, especially it has been shown to be useful for monitoring forest fires and for agricultural management • However, Earth Observation Satellite data is not yet commonly used for operational purposes. • So, we would like to promote research and operational use of Earth Observation Satellite data for agriculture and forest fire applications by providing multi-satellite data and in-situ data. APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka
Purpose • To study new services and possibilities of data interoperability between the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA)through the Development of a prototype system for the forest fire monitoring in Thailand APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka
Introduction of web mapping technology • Standard interface of Interoperability for Spatial data via WWW. • OpenGISConsortium (OGC) Specification • Standard interface between Client and Server • Possible to send the request as same message format to multiple servers (to the distributed environment) • Possible to develop own system independently • Don’t need to understand the system configuration of other servers, only care about the standard interface APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka

Providing Data • Fire risk map • the risk of each 10 days is determined by the dryness of the area using NOAA/AVHRR NDVI and channel 4. • JERS1-SAR mosaic data • Mosaic data of Southeast Asia using JERS1-SAR • NoForest Area mask data • No Forest Area mask data of Thailand • Hotspots data • Hotspots extract from NOAA/AVHRR data • Hotspots extract from DMSP/OLS data • Map data • DCW (Digital Chart World): coastline, boundaries • Global Map: river, load and so on APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka

JERS1-SAR image Target area: Thailand APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka
Use case • Target user • Forest fire monitoring operators in Thailand • Needs of operators • To grasp the situation about extensive forest fire easily and timely • For an operational system it is important to study the use case. APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka
Use Case • Operators can find the latest fire locations and evaluate further risk of fires by combining fire risk maps with the latest hot spot information. • For a more detailed understanding the operator can zoom into an area and overlay hot spots onto the JERS-SAR mosaic image to understand the topography. Also, the operator can overlay state boundaries, rivers, roads, etc. • For confirming the location of fire spot the operator can see the lat/lon information on other window. • Operator can do temporal searches on historical (past) Fire Risk maps and hot spots database. • Operator can save the image in JPEG format and hot spot lat/lon information in text format. APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka
System overview • Fire risk map server (WMS 1.1.0) • For getting a request from the forest monitoring client and sending to the client a fire risk map which is processed according to a request • JERS1-SAR mosaic data server (WMS 1.1.0) • For getting a request from forest monitoring client and sending to the client a mosaic image which is processed according to a request • Hotspots server (WMS 1.1.0 & WFS 0.0.14) • For overlying the hotspots on the fire risk map and mosaic image, WMS interface is used. • For showing the location (lat/lon) of hotspots WFS interface is used. • Forest monitoring client • For sending the requests to multiple server and getting the image from multiple servers and combine multiple images APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka

Main considerations for system design • Simple and Easy user interface • According to study the use case, the usefulness functions were selected. • Reduce a missing of input form user by preparing the check box and pull down menu • Consideration of limited bandwidths in Thailand • Small data sizes • Minimize the number of transmissions • How to show the continuous days of forest fire • Important to know the continuous days of forest fire • Forest fire usually continue 3days, big forest fire continue 5days. • Scientists wanted the system to show the number of days that a fire had burned in the same area. • The solution chosen was to show the age of the fire by its color. Thus, a new fire is shown in red, a fire one day old is shown in pink, and fires that are two or more days old are shown in another color. APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka

Conclusions • Confirmed the possibilities to provide the valuable services by combining the data from multiple servers using web mapping technology • By using the standard interface • Possible to provide the data to WMS compliant system • Increase the field of data usage • Prototype system operation is scheduled to end of February, 2003. • We will obtain comments from the users to guide us in developing a more useful system. • In addition, this data will be available to the planned Digital Asia Network for Southeast Asia as a demonstration system.
