On January 8, WorldView-3 shortwave infrared (SWIR) imagery captured the ongoing devastation of the wildfires in Los Angeles County. The data revealed the extent of the burned areas at the time of the capture, offering critical insights for rapid response and recovery.
To analyze the affected region, we utilized a random forest classification in ENVI® software to identify and delineate the burned zones with precision. Utilizing the powerful machine-learning algorithms in ENVI allowed us to process the imagery efficiently, highlighting the areas impacted by the fire.
