Landsat 8 is widely used in the extraction of surface temperature, but the data of surface temperature and abnormal area in Pingshuo mining area is vacant based on Landsat 8 in recent years, and there is no standard optimal algorithm to follow. In order to explore the possibility of underground coal fire in Pingshuo mining area of Shanxi Province in the future, based on the Landsat 8 satellite data, the temperature inversion method is used to observe the temperature distribution of the mining area, and three commonly used algorithms of temperature inversion processing are used to compare and analyze the SC algorithm as the best data processing method. The artificial threshold method and NDVI threshold method are used to extract the temperature anomaly area and vegetation coverage area, and calculate the area and proportion of coal fire potential area. According to a series of the data and result charts analysis, it shows that: the highest vegetation index of Pingshuo mining area is 0.79, the vegetation coverage is low, and the surface temperature is more than 41.44 ℃, which may lead to the spontaneous combustion of underground coal mines. However, the area prone to underground coal fires is small and controllable. According to the area of potential coal fires in the mining area, the local relevant departments can take relevant measures to prevent coal fire through the distribution map of potential coal fires.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
