Detecting Crop Burning in India using Satellite Data. (arXiv:2209.10148v1 [cs.CV])

Crop residue burning is a major source of air pollution in many parts of the
world, notably South Asia. Policymakers, practitioners and researchers have
invested in both measuring impacts and developing interventions to reduce
burning. However, measuring the impacts of burning or the effectiveness of
interventions to reduce burning requires data on where burning occurred. These
data are challenging to collect in the field, both in terms of cost and
feasibility. We take advantage of data from ground-based monitoring of …
