Researchers have developed a new benchmark dataset called CanadaFireSat to improve high-resolution wildfire forecasting. This dataset utilizes multi-modal data, including high-resolution satellite imagery from Sentinel-2, MODIS products, and ERA5 environmental data, to predict wildfire occurrences at a 100m resolution across Canada. Experiments with deep learning architectures demonstrated that combining temporal inputs from multiple modalities significantly outperforms single-modal inputs, achieving a peak F1 score of 60.3% for the 2023 wildfire season.
