Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00616, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Toews, Matthew (École de technologie supérieure), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : This proposal will research and develop novel methods for automatic detection of forest fires from satellite_x000D_
image data. A machine learning approach will be adopted, whereby a detection system will be trained to_x000D_
recognize image patterns characteristic of forest fires, based on forest fire labels provided by an expert human_x000D_
and hyperspectral 2D image data acquired by satellite. The system will be evaluated using standard detection_x000D_
accuracy metrics, e.g. detection specificity and sensitivity and the area-under-the-curve (AUC) measure., program purpose french : This proposal will research and develop novel methods for automatic detection of forest fires from satellite_x000D_
