"Watching Things Burn (with Fire Dynamic Vision)"
Wednesday, Nov 13, 2024
Abstract:
We will explore Fire Dynamic Vision (FDV), a novel analytical tool designed to enhance the quantitative analysis of fire spread and plume behavior through video data. FDV processes videos captured across various image types, spatial scales, and data collection configurations to extract velocity distributions, which are then analyzed to uncover statistical patterns in fire dynamics. With FDV, we seek to either confirm or challenge our existing understanding of concepts within fire science and offer validation or potential updates to fire spread and plume behavior models.
