Description

This study proposes a two-step framework: (1) super-resolution (SR) of GOES-R data to approximate VIIRS-level detail, and (2) application of a transformer based deep learning (DL) model to detect active fires in super-resolved images. The approach exploits the complementary spatial and temporal strengths of both sensors, enabling detection of small, low-intensity, and fast-spreading fires often missed by threshold-based methods.
