Satellite remote sensing plays a significant role in the detection of smoke from forest fires. However, existing methods for detecting smoke from forest fires based on remote sensing images rely solely on the information provided by the images, overlooking the positional information and brightness temperature of the fire spots in forest fires. This oversight significantly increases the probability of misjudging smoke plumes. This paper proposes a smoke detection model, Forest Smoke-Fire Net (FSF Net), which integrates wildfire smoke images with the dynamic brightness temperature information of the region. The MODIS_Smoke_FPT dataset was constructed using a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the meteorological information at the site of the fire, and elevation data to determine the location of smoke and the brightness temperature threshold for wildfires. Deep learning and machine learning models were trained separately using the image data and fire spot area data provided by the dataset. The performance of the deep learning model was evaluated using metric 𝑀𝐴𝑃𝑀𝐴𝑃, while the regression performance of machine learning was assessed with Root Mean Square Error (𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸) and Mean Absolute Error (𝑀𝐴𝐸𝑀𝐴𝐸). The selected machine learning and deep learning models were organically integrated. The results show that the Mask_RCNN_ResNet50_FPN and XGR models performed best among the deep learning and machine learning models, respectively. Combining the two models achieved good smoke detection results (π‘ƒπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘–π‘œπ‘›smoke=89.12%π‘ƒπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘–π‘œπ‘›smoke=89.12%). Compared with wildfire smoke detection models that solely use image recognition, the model proposed in this paper demonstrates stronger applicability in improving the precision of smoke detection, thereby providing beneficial support for the timely detection of forest fires and applications of remote sensing.
