The PREFER FP7 project aims delivering a series of map products based on Earth Observation data, which can support and improve fire and forest management in EU. Among these products are maps of Burn Scars from forest fires which are created using complex remote sensing techniques and image processing algorithms. In this paper is presented the validation methodology and the results relative to the evaluation of the burn scar product of PREFER in Greece.
