A stereovision system for fire characteristics estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a stereovision system for the measurement of forest fire spread characteristics. Images of the scene are captured by a pre-calibrated stereo camera. A new approach is introduced in order to capture a three dimensional flame structure and to estimate important characteristics of this phenomenon like position and rate of spread of the fire front, height, length, inclination and geometry of the flame surface. Results from indoor and outdoor experiments are presented. The obtained results are promising and show the potential of using the proposed system as a metrological tool for modeling and monitoring real-life fires.

متن کاملStereovision for the determination of fireline intensity in vegetation fire
Fireline intensity is one of the most relevant quantities in forest fire science. It helps to evaluate the effects of fuel treatment on fire behaviour, to establish limits for prescribed burning. It is also used as a quantitative basis to support fire suppression activities. However, its measurement at field scale for actual fire remains a challenge. Hence, it has been poorly used as a key quan...
متن کاملA Fire Ignition Model and Its Application for Estimating Loss due to Damage of the Urban Gas Network in an Earthquake
Damage of the urban gas network due to an earthquake can cause much loss including fire-induced loss to infrastructure and loss due to interruption of gas service and repairing or replacing of network elements. In this paper, a new fire ignition model is proposed and applied to a conventional semi-probabilistic model for estimating various losses due to damage of an urban gas network in an eart...
