Thermal Anomaly Detection using Physics Aware Neuromorphic Networks: Comparison between Raw and L1C Sentinel-2 Data

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.18606v1 Announce Type: cross Damage caused by bushfires and volcanic eruptions escalates rapidly when detection is delayed, making fast and reliable early warning capabilities essential. Recent Earth Observation (EO) approaches have shown that thermal anomaly detection can be performed directly on decompressed Level-0 (L0) sensor data, avoiding computationally expensive preprocessing chains. However, direct exploitation of raw data remains challenging due to domain shift, sensor drift, radiometric inconsistencies, and the scarcity of labelled
