About
Dr Bryan Hally

Dr Bryan Hally’s project focused upon the role background temperature estimation plays in the detection and attribution of active fire using satellite remote sensing. His work firstly examined the errors associated with the current spatiocontextual model of background temperature estimation and the causes behind these errors. The project then branched in two separate quantitative methods harnessing the capabilities of new satellite sensors, which leveraged improvements in temporal and spatial resolution to create improved models of background temperature for subsequent use in fire detection techniques.

Methods for background temperature estimation in the context of active fire detection
Satellite remote sensing of active fire is increasingly being utilised to aid in the location and evaluation of fire threats to people and property. This study is developing a model for the simulation of active fire landscapes, which will be used to validate the fire products of a range of satellite remote sensors. Sources of attenuation of fire signal are also being investigated, along with the adaption of existing fire products to new satellite sensors for Australia.
