Piedmont Region (Italy) 2017 burn severity maps

The dataset contains burn severity maps of ten wildfires occurred in the Piedmont Region (Italy) during autumn 2017. Maps were produced by thresholding three different NBR (Normalized Burn Ratio) -based bi-temporal indices (differenced NBR - dNBR, Relative differenced NBR - RdNBR, Relativized Burn Ratio - RBR) computed using Sentinel-2 imagery. Thresholds were predicted from regression models relating field data (Composite Burn Index plots) and NBR-based bi-temporal indices.Either a pair of cloud-free pre- and post-fire images, i.e. paired images, or reflectance composites, produced using all the images acquired during the growing seasons of 2017 and 2018, were employed for computing bi-temporal indices. A previous version of the project was published in the website of the Piedmont Region.
