Development of a system to simply synthesize flame and smoke for house fire

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system for supporting automatically locating flames and smokes which are used to express a house fire in the virtual space. The evacuation drill using the virtual space is acknowledged that it is useful to the disaster reduction because it allows us to repeatedly have trainings of the decision making under the similar situation of the actual disaster. Here, in order to construct an outdoor large-scale-fire evacuation drill simulator, it is necessary to efficiently represent many house fires which occur simultaneously. We propose a simple method for generating video textures consisting of both flame and smoke corresponding to various combustion stages as the solution for this problem.
