Outline

This study presents a novel approach for automated fire-stricken area mapping by combining the AlphaEarth dataset with the Siamese U-Net deep learning architecture. Consisting of high-resolution optical and thermal infrared images and comprehensive ground truth annotations, the AlphaEarth dataset provides an unprecedented resource for training a robust fire-stricken area detection model. Training the model on the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) dataset from the continental United States and evaluating it across 17 European regions, the proposed ensemble approach achieved excellent performance on the test dataset: an overall accuracy of 95%, an IoU of 0.6, and an F1-score of 74%. The model successfully identified fire-stricken areas across diverse ecosystems with complex backgrounds, demonstrating particular strengths in detecting partially burned vegetation and fire boundaries. It also demonstrated transferability and high generalization ability in fire-stricken area mapping. This study contributes to the advancement of automated fire damage assessment and provides a scalable solution for global fire-stricken area monitoring using the AlphaEarth dataset.
