This repository holds the source code for VolcFire [1],
a cellular automaton model for fire propagation aimed at the creation of fire hazard maps for fires of volcanic origin.
The latest version is implemented in Julia as firesim.jl, and is at version 4.0.
|
Note
|
For historical reasons, the original Python code is also available as FireSim.py, but it is not up to date with the latest features available in the Julia version.
|
The model requires as input data:
-
a textual description of the starting point(s) and wind conditions (strength and direction);
-
Sentinel-2 satellite data, used to derive NDVI and NDMI information;
-
the topography of the area of interest (a DEM/DSM/DTM raster in a format that can be imported by GDAL);
-
(optional) a raster file marking the firebreak cells.
See the output of ./firesim.jl -h for details about the launch syntax.
