NightHawk: A Low-Cost, Nighttime Light Wildfire Observation Platform and Its Radiometric Calibration

NightHawk: A Low-Cost, Nighttime Light Wildfire Observation Platform and Its Radiometric Calibration

We present a low-cost prototype of a visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) remote sensing platform, optimized to detect and characterize natural flaming fire fronts from airborne nighttime light (NTL) observations, and its radiometric calibration. It uses commercially available CMOS sensor cameras and...
