Fig. 7. Graphic example of the temporal adjacency test.
Given an object Awhich is already a confidently detected burned area, a spatially adjacent object B is also considered confident if the two temporal detection intervals overlap.
Left: the two intervals overlap(I≠∅), and object B is also considered a confident burned area. Right: the two intervalsdo not overlap (I = ∅) and object B is not considered a confident burned area.
