Description

This chapter covers active fire detection using Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN), quantifying prediction uncertainty in wildfire mapping from satellite-derived thermal and reflectance data. It presents two case studies and a framework for uncertainty-aware ecological monitoring.

Part of the EarthRISE Applied Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Book, Chapter 6: Ecological Process Simulation.
