BackgroundBackground Earth observation data has been highly effective in
environmental monitoring, especially it has been shown to be useful for monitoring forest fires and for agricultural management
However, Earth Observation Satellite data is not yet commonly used for operational purposes.
So, we would like to promote research and operational use of Earth Observation Satellite data for agriculture and forest fire applications by providing multi-satellite data and in-situ data.

PurposePurpose
To study new services and possibilities of data interoperability between the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan
(MAFF) and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) through the Development of a prototype system for the forest fire monitoring in Thailand

Introduction of web mapping Introduction of web mapping technologytechnology
Standard interface of Interoperability for Spatial data via WWW.
OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) Specification Standard interface between Client and Server
– Possible to send the request as same message format to multiple servers (to the distributed environment)
– Possible to develop own system independently Don’t need to understand the system configuration of other servers,
only care about the standard interface

Providing DataProviding Data Fire risk map Fire risk map
– the risk of each 10 days is determined by the dryness of the area using NOAA/AVHRR NDVI and channel 4.
JERS1-SAR mosaic dataJERS1-SAR mosaic data– Mosaic data of Southeast Asia using JERS1-SAR
NoNo Forest Area mask dataForest Area mask data– No Forest Area mask data of Thailand
Hotspots dataHotspots data– Hotspots extract from NOAA/AVHRR data– Hotspots extract from DMSP/OLS data
Map dataMap data– DCW (Digital Chart World): coastline, boundaries– Global Map: river, load and so on

Use caseUse case
Target user– Forest fire monitoring operators in Thailand
Needs of operators– To grasp the situation about extensive forest fire easily
and timely– For an operational system it is important to study the
use case.
Jan. 21, 2003 APAN 2003 Conference in Fukuoka 11
Use CaseUse Case Operators can find the latest fire locations and evaluate further risk of
fires by combining fire risk maps with the latest hot spot information. For a more detailed understanding the operator can zoom into an area
and overlay hot spots onto the JERS-SAR mosaic image to understand the topography. Also, the operator can overlay state boundaries, rivers, roads, etc.
For confirming the location of fire spot the operator can see the lat/lon information on other window.
Operator can do temporal searches on historical (past) Fire Risk maps and hot spots database.
Operator can save the image in JPEG format and hot spot lat/lon information in text format.

System overviewSystem overview Fire risk map server ( WMS 1.1.0)
– For getting a request from the forest monitoring client and sending to the client a fire risk map which is processed according to a request
JERS1-SAR mosaic data server (WMS 1.1.0)– For getting a request from forest monitoring client and sending to the
client a mosaic image which is processed according to a request
Hotspots server (WMS 1.1.0 & WFS 0.0.14)– For overlying the hotspots on the fire risk map and mosaic image, W
MS interface is used. – For showing the location (lat/lon) of hotspots WFS interface is used.
Forest monitoring client– For sending the requests to multiple server and getting the image fro
m multiple servers and combine multiple images

Main considerations for system design Simple and Easy user interfaceSimple and Easy user interface
– According to study the use case, the usefulness functions were selected. – Reduce a missing of input form user by preparing the check box and pull down menu
Consideration of limited bandwidths in ThailandConsideration of limited bandwidths in Thailand– Small data sizes– Minimize the number of transmissions
How to show the continuous days of forest fireHow to show the continuous days of forest fire– Important to know the continuous days of forest fire – Forest fire usually continue 3days, big forest fire continue 5days.– Scientists wanted the system to show the number of days that a fire had burned in the
same area. – The solution chosen was to show the age of the fire by its color. Thus, a new fire is
shown in red, a fire one day old is shown in pink, and fires that are two or more days old are shown in another color.

ConclusionsConclusions Confirmed the possibilities to provide the valuable services by
combining the data from multiple servers using web mapping technology
By using the standard interface – Possible to provide the data to WMS compliant system– Increase the field of data usage
Prototype system operation is scheduled to end of February, 2003. We will obtain comments from the users to guide us in
developing a more useful system. In addition, this data will be available to the planned Digital Asia
Network for Southeast Asia as a demonstration system.
