Steps to creating synthetic images of wildland fire

Flame Visualization– 3D Flame structure is not explicitly in the NCAR model nor is it in the fire propagation
code– Does it matter if we create realistic flame structure and smoke?
• Needed for creating realistic synthetic images from model outputs for comparison to real images of a fire scene• Needed for better visualization for the fire manager
– How do we create realistic flame structure?• Temperature data• Real spectral data and blackbody spectral model• Attenuation coefficient through flame• 3D modeling of an emissive transparent object (a gas)

• Optically thin result, relative radiance was linear with temperature• Attenuation coefficient is very small
Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation Model (DIRSIG)• A first principles ray tracing code that is spectral (visible to thermal)• Facetized solid reflective surfaces• Transmissive objects (tree leaves, gas plumes)• Thermal history• MODTRAN atmospheric model• Sensor model
Voxels in DIRSIG• A voxel is a 3D pixel• Transmission through voxels (an attenuation coefficient)• Voxel temperature (800 C)
Voxel emission -- for now
1x1x
2x2x
3x3x
• The voxel is an emitting source to the sensor• We can do this now, see example• New measurements at Missoula needed to determine spectral attenuation
Voxel emission – the future
1x1x
2x2x
3x3x
• The voxel as a secondary source• New coding in DIRSIG is required. Ready by August?
Buoyancy output from the NCAR modelIn general, the higher the buoyancy, the relatively warmer the atmosphere
Display buoyancy as grayscale
Lower threshold, larger region, looks like smoke Higher threshold, smaller region, looks like flame
