Figure 1 is a set of processed Landsat TM images showing thermal anomalies due to subsurface® res and the associated re ectance aureoles:(a) TM6 subimage,(b) TM3 subimage, and (c) TM4 subimage. The double convolved outputs of these windows are shown in® gures (d),(e) and (f) respectively. Each band (TM6, TM3 and TM4) image has been separately density sliced and colour-coded, such that red represents the highest range of DN-values; yellow and green represent successively lower DN-value ranges and the background DN-values are in blue. Coal® res are frequently encountered in coal mining areas, all over the world. The Jharia coal® eld, the largest coal® eld in India, is located about 250km NW of Calcutta and about 1150 km SE of Delhi (® gure 2). It comprises multiple coal seams. The Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) identi® ed about 70 major mine® res in the Jharia coal® eld (Prasad et al. 1984). This is one of the largest concentration ofFigure1. Processed TM images of a part of the area in the Jharia coal® eld, showing re ectance aureoles over the thermally anomalous areas:(a) TM6 subimage,(b) TM3 subimage, and (c) TM4 subimage. The doubly convolved outputs of these windows are shown in (d),(e) and (f) respectively. Each band (TM6, TM3 and TM4) has been separately density-sliced and colour-coded, such that red represents the highest range of DN-values; yellow and green represent successively lower DN-value ranges, and the background (lowest DN-values) is coded in blue.
