چکیده

این تحقیق در مزارع ذرت و گندم منطقة ارزوئیة استان کرمان انجام شده است. در این مطالعه، توانایی تصاویر سنجندة ‏لندست برای پایش مزارعی که در آن‏ها بقایای گیاهی آتش ‏زده ‏شده، با استفاده از شاخص‏های طیفی و آنالیز جداسازی طیفی خطی، ارزیابی شد. بدین منظور، چهار وضعیت سطح خاک‏ـ شامل زمینِ خاک‏ورزی‏نشده، زمین با بقایای گیاهی، زمین با پوشش گیاهی سبز، و زمین با بقایای گیاهی سوزانده‏شده‏ـ درنظر گرفته شد و چهار شاخص طیفی NDVI، BAI، NBR، و NBRT برای قطعات آزمایشی ایجاد شد. نتایج نشان داد شاخص ‏BAI قادر است، بهتر از سایر شاخص‏های مورد بررسی، مزارعی را که در آن‏ها بقایای گیاهی آتش زده شده از سایر عوارض موجود در سطح زمین جدا کند. مساحت مزارع آزمایشیِ آتش‏زده‏شده در تصاویر ماهواره‏ای، که به ‏وسیلة شاخص BAI محاسبه شده بود، با مساحت واقعی مزارع آزمایشی همبستگی بسیاری (95/0R2 =) داشت. بنابراین، برای تمایز قائل‏شدن بین مزارع سوخته و سایر عوارض، می‏توان از شاخص BAI استفاده کرد. همچنین، سطح مزارع سوخته، که با آنالیز جداسازی طیفی خطی تخمین زده شده بود، با داده‏های به‏دست‏آمده از روش زمینی همبستگی مناسبی (89/0R2 =) داشت.

چکیده [English]

Introduction
In the recent years, due to the benefits of conservation tillage and also disadvantages of crop residue burning, extension and education of conservation tillage has been highlighted on the agenda of agriculture policymakers. In this regard, subsidies or crimes are, respectively, considered for the farmers who use conservation tillage or crop residue burning on their farms. Lack of information, time consuming and high cost efforts of information gathering from the farm using conventional methods led to the poor performance of law enforcement. Therefore, the present research was carried out to find an accurate and fast method for monitoring the residue management. In this research, the ability of Landsat-8 satellite imagery for monitoring of burned fields was evaluated using spectral indices and linear spectral unmixing analysis.
 
Materials and methods
The present research was carried out in the Orzooiyeh region of Kerman province. For conducting the experiment, an area with approximate size of 25 square kilometers is considered and 10 farms (with burnt residues of wheat or corn) were selected randomly in this area as 10 replications of experimental plots. The images were downloaded from the landsat-8 website and all features were extracted from the images using ENVI software. On the other hand, the data of real burned areas on the farm were collected using handheld GPS device and the exact date of residue burning was also recorded directly on the field. The maps of experimental farms were prepared using ArcGIS software. The correlation between data of real burned area on the farms and ENVI extracted data of the burned areas were studied and real burned areas were expressed as a function of burned area that extracted from satellite images by a linear regression curve. Finally, the accuracy of regression functions and correlation between real data and satellite data were calculated. For this purpose, spectral indices including Normalized Difference of Vegetation Index (NDVI), Burned Area Index (BAI), Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and Normalized Burn Ratio Thermal (NBRT) were created for experimental lands and four soil surface conditions as experimental plots were considered including no planted field, residue covered field, green vegetation field and burned residue field.
 
Results and discussion
In the present study, because of extracting the pure spectral data of soil and residue, directly from Landsat-8 images, spectral unmixing analysis was not sensitive to the spectral changes that caused by conditions such as moisture content of soil and plant residue. The average value of BAI index obtained the values of 88.39, 9.29, 4.20 and 6.87 for burned residue field, no planted field, residue covered field and green vegetation field, respectively. As it can be seen, the average value of BAI index for burned residue field is significantly higher than the values for other soil surface conditions. This difference is because of the very low percentage of spectral reflectance of ash in the red and near-infrared bands. Therefore, BAI index was selected as an indicator to distinguish between burnt residue and other three surface conditions in the farm. The result showed that there is a significant difference between means in four soil surface conditions of the studied indices. Also, the results showed that the BAI index can be used as a good indicator for separation of burned fields. By the BAI index, location and area of trial burned farms were determined with higher accuracy than other indices. The average of burned fields that had been separated from other fields using BAI index had high correlation (R2=0.95) with ground-truth data. Also, the area of burned fields estimated by linear spectral unmixing analysis had a good correlation (R2=0.89) with the obtained data from the ground-based method.
 
Conclusion
According to the results, BAI index had the most accuracy for estimating burned area of farms and BAI index is proposed for separation of the areas of burnt fields. However, there is a slight error in estimation of the burned areas using spectral indicators and linear spectral unmixing analysis due to pixel nature of satellite images. Since there is only one spectral data for each pixel of satellite images, spectral data of the pixels that are more than the threshold value are considered as the burned pixels while it is possible that actual amount of burned area have been overestimated. For spectral data of the pixels that are less than the threshold value, we considered the unburned pixels while that may be estimating the burned area less than the actual amount.
