Abstract. With the advancement of computer vision, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing technologies, deep learning algorithms are increasingly used in terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne-based fire detection systems. The performance and generalization of these data-driven fire detection algorithms, however, are restricted by the limited number and source of fire detection datasets. A large-scale fire detection benchmark dataset covering complex and varied fire scenarios is urgently needed. This work constructs a 100,000-level Flame and Smoke Detection Dataset (FASDD) based on multi-source heterogeneous flame and smoke images. It holds rich variations in image size, resolution, illumination (day and night), scenario (indoor and outdoor), image range (far and near), viewing angle (top view and side view), platform (surveillance cameras, drones, and satellites), and data source (Internet, social media, and open-access fire datasets). To the best of our knowledge, FASDD is currently the most versatile and comprehensive dataset for fire detection. It provides a challenging benchmark to drive the continuous evolution of fire detection models. Additionally, we formulate a unified workflow for preprocessing, annotation, and quality control of fire samples. Out-of-the-box annotations are published in four different formats for training deep learning models. Extensive performance evaluations based on classical methods show that most of the object detection models trained on FASDD can achieve satisfactory fire detection results, and especially YOLOv5x achieves nearly 80 % mAP@0.5 accuracy on heterogeneous images spanning two domains of computer vision and remote sensing. And the application in wildfire location demonstrates that deep learning models trained on our dataset can be used in recognizing and monitoring forest fires. Deep learning models trained with FASDD can be simultaneously deployed on satellites, drones, and ground sensors, thus realizing collaborative fire observation and detection in a space-air-ground integrated network environment. The dataset is available from the Science Data Bank website at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00104.00103 (Wang et al., 2022a).

Summary
Fire has wide impacts on Earth Systems and human society, and efficient fire detection could promote better understanding, modeling, and preventing fires. Wang et al., synthesized a comprehensive dataset (FASDD) covering images from terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne sensors. For the previous version, I had nine major concerns about the data generation, data validation, and the usefulness of the data, but the current responses and version can hardly convince me for the majority of my major concerns. Here I reclaim my major concerns unaddressed and why they are critically important for fire detection using spaceborne satellite. I suggest the authors to handle those major concerns, otherwise, I really apologize and have to reject this work since these are critical or fundamental drawbacks for this study.
Major comments
(1) Data generation: it’s well known that near infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) are two commonly used bands for fire detection while the authors only used the visible bands via visual interpretation. If only based on true colors, it can hardly convince me about the generality of the dataset for large spatial scale fire detection (e.g., some land surface items could show similar colors with fires in remote sensing images and thus mislead machine leaning models). Also, the results in Table 3 showed the really low performance on detecting remote sensing fires even with advanced machine learning models. With such a lower accuracy, how can the data help improve fire detection.
My response to the authors’ responses: I understand some previous works have used optical camera or RGB for smoke detection, but those purely RGB based fire detection works are used for terrestrial or near-surface fire monitoring instead of spaceborne satellite. The FASDD_RS data include sentinel-2 and landsat8, and the NIR or SWIR bands are fundamentally important for monitoring fire-induced vegetation and dryness changes, and are basically used for fire detection. For example, the listed works bellow all used bands like NRI or SWIR. Some basic indexes with NIR and SWIR can achieve substantially higher accuracy (e.g., Castillo et al., 2020) than the reported accuracy by this study. Also the deep learning work in Pereira et al.2021, achieved much higher accuracy than your work. I have never seen a published reliable fire dataset derived from satellite observations only used RGB.
Barboza Castillo, E., Turpo Cayo, E. Y., de Almeida, C. M., Salas López, R., Rojas Briceño, N. B., Silva López, J. O., ... & Espinoza-Villar, R. (2020). Monitoring wildfires in the northeastern peruvian amazon using landsat-8 and sentinel-2 imagery in the GEE platform. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 9(10), 564.
de Almeida Pereira, G. H., Fusioka, A. M., Nassu, B. T., & Minetto, R. (2021). Active fire detection in Landsat-8 imagery: A large-scale dataset and a deep-learning study. ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 178, 171-186.
Hu, X., Ban, Y., & Nascetti, A. (2021). Sentinel-2 MSI data for active fire detection in major fire-prone biomes: A multi-criteria approach. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 101, 102347.
(2) Data generation: for active fire detection, middle infrared and thermal bands are also
important but were ignored.My response to the authors’ responses: Actually, landsat8 has thermal infrared bands. My concern is that why only use RGB for fire detection? The ultimate goal of this dataset is for improving fire detection instead of some technique details like only using one machine learning model with the same-format inputting dataset. If fusing different datasets can improve fire detection, why not use comprehensive models (e.g., different models) to fuse different datasets and finally achieve better fire detection (e.g., based on an ensemble of machine learning models)? If you use this dataset to develop one single model but throwing important bands information, I don’t think it is a good idea.
(3) Data generation: for the fire detection, the authors used the top-of-atmosphere reflectance instead of atmospheric-corrected land surface reflectance which should be a problem. For example, if the smoke is white or grey, how to classify smoke versus clouds only through visual interpretation of true-colors? Meanwhile, the CV fire images should be obtained on land surface with a much higher spatial resolution (can be with sub-meter resolution in Fig. 4). Can such kinds of CV image trained machine learning models be directly used to large-scale remote sensing data without atmospheric-correction and with different spatial resolutions?
My response to the authors’ responses: I understand that FASDD_CV have images from UAVs. But from the results in Table 4, it seems that for FASDD_RS, the model performance even dropped if we used FASDD (including FASDD_RS and FASDD_CV) for training the model. The dropped performance means that the knowledge derived from FASDD_CV can hardly be transferred or used for improving FASDD_RS. If so, why we should integrate those two heterogenous datasets?
(4) Data annotation: the “minimum bounding rectangle” was used to label the images. Commonly, fire detection is to classify whether each pixel is burned or not instead of a rectangle (e.g., the MODIS fire product in Giglio et al., (2018) and Giglio et al., (2016)). Meanwhile, the fire patch perimeter was always not rectangle (Laurent et al., 2018), therefore a bounding rectangle could contain both burned and unburned pixels, right?
My response to the authors’ responses: Please clarify the differences for fire detection in terms of scene classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation; clarify the main focus of this dataset (e.g., objection detection tasks) and its differences with previous fire detection datasets from satellites in the main text. Currently, section 2.1 only mentioned about existing fire detection datasets for terrestrial and airborne but not including existing satellite fire detection datasets.
(5) Data validation: the true-color based visual interpretation could also involve biases, therefore it’s important to validate the generated data against other reliable fire dataset, such as the MTBS data
My response to the authors’ responses: it can hardly convince me by validating the dataset only using one specific fire event in MTBS. Additionally, for Figure 6, why not use metrics to quantitively validate the dataset? Please comprehensively validate your dataset. If the dataset is not reliable, how can we trust it and use it?
(6) Line 245-246, the dataset consists of 95,314 computer vision fire samples but only 5,773 remote sensing samples. Due to the data imbalance, the model performance (Table 2) on FASDD data therefore mainly depends on the model performance on FASDD_CV. For the limited number of remote sensing fire samples, most samples in each region were distributed within ten days of a specific year (Table 1). Can such limited number of wildfires reflect all the seasonal and interannual changes of environmental conditions and fire dynamics so that machine learning models could learn from enough data? To my knowledge, the fire occurrence conditions changed across seasons and therefore the fire detectability could also be affected.
My response to the authors’ responses: a) can CV dataset help improve fire detection using RS (Table 4)? b) I disagree that “the features of fire objects do not have a high seasonal dependence” responded by the authors. The fire features including fire radiative power or fire intensity, fire spread, fire duration, and fire size, are strongly controlled by environmental conditions which could vary across seasons (e.g., dry season versus non-dry seasons) or within a season.
(7) Evaluation in section 4: the evaluation mainly showed the extent to which machine learning models could detect fires of generated FASDD data, therefore whether FASDD is reliable remains unknown. The FASDD data needed to be validated against other reliable fire products.
My response to the authors’ responses: please see my comment in (5).
(8) There are many existing remote sensing fire products (e.g., MTBS, MODIS fire products) and CV fire data sets. I understand that combining the two kinds of dataset was the main difference of FASDD relative to other datasets, however, the authors did not show why combining these two kinds of dataset is important? Can combining these two kinds of datasets improve fire detection relative to existing fire detection algorithms (e.g., the method for MODIS or MTBS fire product)? If not, why people use such complex dataset (with different spatial resolution and without atmospheric-correction)
My response to the authors’ responses: For table 4, the accuracy on FASDD_RS is really lower than existing fire detection algorithms (see my major comment 1), and it seems that integrating those two datasets can achieve very limited benefit or even performance loss for three of total four machine learning methods. If so, why people use such complex dataset? Additionally, the MTBS is based on Landsat, not necessarily having a lower spatial resolution than your RS dataset.
(9) Line 365-370: chaning "epoch" is not ablation experiments. Ablation experiments commonly refer to changing a component of machine learning model (i.e., model structure changes)

Summary
Fire has wide impacts on Earth Systems and human society, and efficient fire detection could promote better understanding, modeling, and preventing fires. Wang et al., synthesized a comprehensive dataset (FASDD) covering images from terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne sensors. For the previous version, I had nine major concerns about the data generation, data validation, and the usefulness of the data, but the current responses and version can hardly convince me for the majority of my major concerns. Here I reclaim my major concerns unaddressed and why they are critically important for fire detection using spaceborne satellite. I suggest the authors to handle those major concerns, otherwise, I really apologize and have to reject this work since these are critical or fundamental drawbacks for this study.
Major comments
(1) Data generation: it’s well known that near infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) are two commonly used bands for fire detection while the authors only used the visible bands via visual interpretation. If only based on true colors, it can hardly convince me about the generality of the dataset for large spatial scale fire detection (e.g., some land surface items could show similar colors with fires in remote sensing images and thus mislead machine leaning models). Also, the results in Table 3 showed the really low performance on detecting remote sensing fires even with advanced machine learning models. With such a lower accuracy, how can the data help improve fire detection.
My response to the authors’ responses: I understand some previous works have used optical camera or RGB for smoke detection, but those purely RGB based fire detection works are used for terrestrial or near-surface fire monitoring instead of spaceborne satellite. The FASDD_RS data include sentinel-2 and landsat8, and the NIR or SWIR bands are fundamentally important for monitoring fire-induced vegetation and dryness changes, and are basically used for fire detection. For example, the listed works bellow all used bands like NRI or SWIR. Some basic indexes with NIR and SWIR can achieve substantially higher accuracy (e.g., Castillo et al., 2020) than the reported accuracy by this study. Also the deep learning work in Pereira et al.2021, achieved much higher accuracy than your work. I have never seen a published reliable fire dataset derived from satellite observations only used RGB.
Barboza Castillo, E., Turpo Cayo, E. Y., de Almeida, C. M., Salas López, R., Rojas Briceño, N. B., Silva López, J. O., ... & Espinoza-Villar, R. (2020). Monitoring wildfires in the northeastern peruvian amazon using landsat-8 and sentinel-2 imagery in the GEE platform. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 9(10), 564.
de Almeida Pereira, G. H., Fusioka, A. M., Nassu, B. T., & Minetto, R. (2021). Active fire detection in Landsat-8 imagery: A large-scale dataset and a deep-learning study. ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 178, 171-186.
Hu, X., Ban, Y., & Nascetti, A. (2021). Sentinel-2 MSI data for active fire detection in major fire-prone biomes: A multi-criteria approach. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 101, 102347.
(2) Data generation: for active fire detection, middle infrared and thermal bands are also
important but were ignored.My response to the authors’ responses: Actually, landsat8 has thermal infrared bands. My concern is that why only use RGB for fire detection? The ultimate goal of this dataset is for improving fire detection instead of some technique details like only using one machine learning model with the same-format inputting dataset. If fusing different datasets can improve fire detection, why not use comprehensive models (e.g., different models) to fuse different datasets and finally achieve better fire detection (e.g., based on an ensemble of machine learning models)? If you use this dataset to develop one single model but throwing important bands information, I don’t think it is a good idea.
(3) Data generation: for the fire detection, the authors used the top-of-atmosphere reflectance instead of atmospheric-corrected land surface reflectance which should be a problem. For example, if the smoke is white or grey, how to classify smoke versus clouds only through visual interpretation of true-colors? Meanwhile, the CV fire images should be obtained on land surface with a much higher spatial resolution (can be with sub-meter resolution in Fig. 4). Can such kinds of CV image trained machine learning models be directly used to large-scale remote sensing data without atmospheric-correction and with different spatial resolutions?
My response to the authors’ responses: I understand that FASDD_CV have images from UAVs. But from the results in Table 4, it seems that for FASDD_RS, the model performance even dropped if we used FASDD (including FASDD_RS and FASDD_CV) for training the model. The dropped performance means that the knowledge derived from FASDD_CV can hardly be transferred or used for improving FASDD_RS. If so, why we should integrate those two heterogenous datasets?
(4) Data annotation: the “minimum bounding rectangle” was used to label the images. Commonly, fire detection is to classify whether each pixel is burned or not instead of a rectangle (e.g., the MODIS fire product in Giglio et al., (2018) and Giglio et al., (2016)). Meanwhile, the fire patch perimeter was always not rectangle (Laurent et al., 2018), therefore a bounding rectangle could contain both burned and unburned pixels, right?
My response to the authors’ responses: Please clarify the differences for fire detection in terms of scene classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation; clarify the main focus of this dataset (e.g., objection detection tasks) and its differences with previous fire detection datasets from satellites in the main text. Currently, section 2.1 only mentioned about existing fire detection datasets for terrestrial and airborne but not including existing satellite fire detection datasets.
(5) Data validation: the true-color based visual interpretation could also involve biases, therefore it’s important to validate the generated data against other reliable fire dataset, such as the MTBS data
My response to the authors’ responses: it can hardly convince me by validating the dataset only using one specific fire event in MTBS. Additionally, for Figure 6, why not use metrics to quantitively validate the dataset? Please comprehensively validate your dataset. If the dataset is not reliable, how can we trust it and use it?
(6) Line 245-246, the dataset consists of 95,314 computer vision fire samples but only 5,773 remote sensing samples. Due to the data imbalance, the model performance (Table 2) on FASDD data therefore mainly depends on the model performance on FASDD_CV. For the limited number of remote sensing fire samples, most samples in each region were distributed within ten days of a specific year (Table 1). Can such limited number of wildfires reflect all the seasonal and interannual changes of environmental conditions and fire dynamics so that machine learning models could learn from enough data? To my knowledge, the fire occurrence conditions changed across seasons and therefore the fire detectability could also be affected.
My response to the authors’ responses: a) can CV dataset help improve fire detection using RS (Table 4)? b) I disagree that “the features of fire objects do not have a high seasonal dependence” responded by the authors. The fire features including fire radiative power or fire intensity, fire spread, fire duration, and fire size, are strongly controlled by environmental conditions which could vary across seasons (e.g., dry season versus non-dry seasons) or within a season.
(7) Evaluation in section 4: the evaluation mainly showed the extent to which machine learning models could detect fires of generated FASDD data, therefore whether FASDD is reliable remains unknown. The FASDD data needed to be validated against other reliable fire products.
My response to the authors’ responses: please see my comment in (5).
(8) There are many existing remote sensing fire products (e.g., MTBS, MODIS fire products) and CV fire data sets. I understand that combining the two kinds of dataset was the main difference of FASDD relative to other datasets, however, the authors did not show why combining these two kinds of dataset is important? Can combining these two kinds of datasets improve fire detection relative to existing fire detection algorithms (e.g., the method for MODIS or MTBS fire product)? If not, why people use such complex dataset (with different spatial resolution and without atmospheric-correction)
My response to the authors’ responses: For table 4, the accuracy on FASDD_RS is really lower than existing fire detection algorithms (see my major comment 1), and it seems that integrating those two datasets can achieve very limited benefit or even performance loss for three of total four machine learning methods. If so, why people use such complex dataset? Additionally, the MTBS is based on Landsat, not necessarily having a lower spatial resolution than your RS dataset.
(9) Line 365-370: chaning "epoch" is not ablation experiments. Ablation experiments commonly refer to changing a component of machine learning model (i.e., model structure changes)
