Real-time physics inversion for retrieval of sub-pixel wildfire temperatures from VSWIR imaging spectroscopy
The episode discusses a paper on real-time physics inversion for retrieving sub-pixel wildfire temperatures using VSWIR imaging spectroscopy. The research uses a full physics forward model, Gaussian mixture models for temperature distribution, and adaptive saturation handling. Validation across simulations and large fire campaigns shows high accuracy, suggesting this method can be used in real time on aircraft and potentially on spaceborne sensors.
