Someone who knows the process for the area index burned in SNAP with Sentinel 2a

#2

you can use the Normalized Burn Ratio BR for that. It uses near infrared and short-wave infrared and we already found it suitable for Sentinel-2 data.

Thank you.

The problem that this NBR is used for areas greater than 500 acres and compares before and after fire. And I want to use another method. Check this out: https://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/backgroundburnindices.html

You don’t necessarily need to compare before and after images, still its favourable. I think it is still valid for areas smaller than 500 acres as long the areas can be detected by the resolution of 60 meters.
