Uncontrolled wildfires are dangerous events capable of harming people safety. To contrast their increasing impact in recent years, a key task is an accurate detection of the affected areas and their damage assessment from satellite images. Current state-of-the-art solutions address such problem through a double convolutional neural network able to automatically detect wildfires in satellite acquisitions and associate a damage index from a defined scale. However, such deep-learning model performance is strongly dependent on many factors. In this work, we specifically focus on a key parameter, i.e., the loss function, exploited in the underlying neural networks. Besides the state-of-the-art solutions based on the Dice-MSE, among the many loss functions proposed in literature, we focus on the Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) and the Intersection over Union (IoU), as two representatives of the distribution-based and region-based categories, respectively. Experiments show that the BCE loss function coupled with a double-step U-Net architecture provides better results than current state-of-the-art solutions on a public labeled dataset of European wildfires.
