ABSTRACT

Satellite remote sensing technologies have enabled continuous monitoring of wide area, which can increase the efficiency of wildfire monitoring. The American Terra, Aqua, and GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite), the European Union’s Meteosat, and the Korean COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) and its follow-up satellite are expected to provide realtime information for wildfires. This study aims to develop a smartphone app for wildfire information over the Korean Peninsula by constructing a database for fire location, confidence level, and radiative power derived from MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data. To support both Android- and iOS-based smarthpones, we employed a hybrid methodology that combines a native app for each OS (Operating System) and a mobile webpage for common functionalities. This approach can finally increase reusability of source codes and extensibility of a system. Our hybrid app includes the search functionalities for (1) fires on a specific date, (2) recent fires, and (3) fires around the user location. Although the app currently deals with past fire information due to the limitation of satellite data transmission, it can be extended to a realtime service with the development of the follow-up satellite in the late 2010s. This study showed a possibility for satellite-based realtime service for wildfire information and presented an integrated framework working with SNS (Social Networking Service)-based big data mining technology.
