“…El sensor AVHRR (Avanced Very Hight Resolution Radiometer) a bordo del satélite NOAA (Nacional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) ha sido ampliamente utilizado en el estudio de los incendios forestales (Barbosa et al, 1999;Pereira et al, 1999;Fernández et al, 1997, González-Alonso et al 1996, González-Alonso et al, 1997, debido a su cobertura espacial, espectral y temporal, sobre todo cuando se trabaja con grandes extensiones (Illera et al, 1995). Actualmente nuevos sensores como el MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) están abriendo una nueva era en la estimación de superficies quemadas debido a las mejoras espaciales, espectrales y temporales que presentan dichos sensores , Merino-deMiguel et al, 2005.…”

This study presents a rapid, accurate and economic methodology for forest fire burned areas estimation using remote sensing techniques. The algorithm used is based on thresholds identifications from infrared spectral band, using MODIS images and hotspots time series delivered from NASA. The threshold is defined by the maximum correlation between the infrared band and hotspot influence area. The results show the usefulness of the presented methodology in forest fire burned area estimation and its relevance for prioritizing forest management activities and for planning future reforestations work in the affected area.
