One of the major problems faced by our environment is crop residue burning, also known as stubble burning. Due to wide availability of modern tools and technologies for harvesting, a vast amount of residue is generated in the fields. The common practice to get the fields free from such residue is stubble burning. Such practices pose a wide variety of environmental problems. Residue burning emits carbon sinks in air causing pollution which is harmful for human-beings as well as flora and fauna. This problem of stubble burning is not restricted to a single state or country but has been spread all around our world. So, there is an immediate need to monitor such stubble burns so that effective measures could be taken to protect our environment from such a global menace. Manual detection is not enough to monitor such widely spread problem. In this paper, an efficient approach to detect stubble burned areas in various parts of Punjab using remotely sensed images is presented which could be utilized to prevent the large scale environmental degradation. The paper is divided into three parts; first part containing introduction of problem of stubble burning, digital processing of remote images, second part contains the literature survey of previous work done in this context, third part contains the present work done and the results obtained.
