Abstract(in English) Numerous Earth observation satellite instruments show potential for monitoring wildfire, yet current fire detection algorithms mostly rely on data from a single sensor. This highlights an opportunity to explore a multi-sensor approach, considering the abundance of available Earth observation data. This study introduces a novel data-fusion-based algorithm utilizing Earth observation satellite data. It aims to create a reliable fire detection system, merging middle infrared data from geostationary sensors like Himawari-8/9 AHI, GeoKompsat-2 AMI, and low earth orbit sensors like Sentinel-3 SLSTR. The Kalman filter is the data fusion method, which enhances data accuracy by filtering out noise. Following Roberts and Wooster's [1] approach, a Diurnal Temporal Cycle model provides background temperature information. Preliminary results show promise, with detection rates exceeding 95% for various scenarios, highlighting the algorithm's potential. The presented approach showcases a promising advancement in active fire detection, combining the benefits of data fusion and conventional methodology for improved accuracy and adaptability in disaster management scenarios. The method's sensor agnosticism, iterative detection process, and consideration of resolution discrepancies mark significant advancements, addressing limitations observed in existing fire detection methodologies. Future steps involve refining the algorithm's performance across varied study cases, addressing spatial and temporal resolution disparities among input sensors, and scaling the method for near real-time implementation to enhance its utility in disaster response further.
