A post-processed 3D visualization tool for forest fire simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collaboration between simulationists and scientists working on fire spread and ecology led to the design of a 3D visualization tool. This tool is a post-processor which can be linked to existing discrete event fire spread models. An object-oriented analysis and design has been retained to produce flexible open source software. The tool developed can produce realistic 3D landscape rendering of fire spread on regular PC. This software is now used in Corsica to help in prospective studies around the region of Montegrosso.

Forest Fire Potential Modeling and Simulation of its Extension Using Remote Sensing Data and GIS: (A Protected Area of Arasbaran)
Forest fire models are generally used in different aspects of fire management and are helpful in understanding and prediction of fire behavior. Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. This helps fire fighters to focus on an area with greater risk and to develop better substructure for fire fighter training and ultimately to plan fire-f...
متن کاملA Novel Toolbox for Generating Realistic Biological Cell Geometries for Electromagnetic Microdosimetry
Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...
متن کاملVisualization service for grid-oriented applications of natural disasters
Every year, forest fires cause enormous damage to vegetation and fauna, environment and property and bind significant human resources. Particularly in national parks and nature reservations, unique areas of high degree of protection can be devastated by fire. For instance, during the destructive forest fire in the Slovak Paradise National Park (Slovakia) in 1976, very unique vegetation was dest...
متن کاملMulti-variable bias correction: application of forest fire risk in present and future climate in Sweden
As the risk of a forest fire is largely influenced by weather, evaluating its tendency under a changing climate becomes important for management and decision making. Currently, biases in climate models make it difficult to realistically estimate the future climate and consequent impact on fire risk. A distribution-based scaling (DBS) approach was developed as a post-processing tool that intends...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Techniques in Monitoring Post-Fire Effects and Patterns of Forest Recovery in Boreal Forest Regions: A Review
The frequency and severity of forest fires, coupled with changes in spatial and temporal precipitation and temperature patterns, are likely to severely affect the characteristics of forest and permafrost patterns in boreal eco-regions. Forest fires, however, are also an ecological factor in how forest ecosystems form and function, as they affect the rate and characteristics of tree recruitment....
