Quick Stats
Category: burn
Sensor: Jilin-1 GF03D
Provider: CG Satellite
Bands Used: 2
Description
The Burn Area Index (BAI) was developed by Chuvieco et al. (2002) to identify burned areas using the red and NIR spectral bands. BAI emphasizes the charcoal signal in post-fire images by considering the spectral distance from each pixel to a reference spectral point where recently burned areas tend to converge.
