Forest fires can destroy millions of acres of land at shockingly fast speeds. The forest fire points identification algorithm is the most critical step in the forest fire monitoring process. Most traditional forest fire monitoring methods use fixed thresholds, ignoring background pixels, and have low recognition rates, which could lead to many problems, such as false reporting and low recognition rate. This paper proposes and tests an adaptive forest fire points identification algorithm using Himawari-8 data. By calculating the three-dimensional histogram of brightness temperature, an adaptive...
