Algorithm is slowed down by oil-flare and industrial fires: filtering needed early in process
The FEDs algorithm makes perimeters for fires. The algorithm will take VIIR's detection of oil-flares and industrial sources, and will make perimeters of them. Especially in areas with a lot of drilling, this slows down the algorithm. There are maps that show what areas are non-fire sources. Right now, we filter the algorithm's output after-the-fact, but it would speed up the algorithm if it didn't process the non-fire sources in the first place.
