Abstract
Tools for fire monitoring are presented. One method includes an operation for accessing values of features for monitoring a fire in a region. The features include satellite images at a first resolution, vegetation information, and weather data. Further, each satellite image includes first cells associated with the geographical region and the first resolution defines a first size of each first cell. The method further includes generating a map of the geographical region comprising a plurality of second cells having a second size, which is smaller than the first size. Additionally, the method includes operations for estimating, using a machine-learning model, probability values for the second cells in the map based on the features, each probability value indicating if the second cell contains an active fire, and for updating the map based on the probability values for the second cells. The map is presented in a user interface.
