Flame Tracker

The Flame Tracker is a Python-based video processing application designed for the combustion research community. With its Graphical User Interface (GUI), it is possible to edit a video and track a flame or a bright object on a frame by frame basis. Flame characteristics such as position, spread rate, length and area can be obtained by isolating a flame from its background with different methods.

The Flame Tracker is open source and cross platform; however, the MacOS and Windows versions have slightly different codes for the GUI visualization. The ‘script’ folder contains both versions.

The code (Python-based) works on Windows, MacOS and Linux, and it’s available on Github:
https://github.com/combustionTools/flameTracker
The instructions are available on Github as well:

Tutorials videos are also on Youtube:

The large #wildfires in #Chile are spreading quickly across large areas of non-native plantations of radiata pine and eucalyptus, many of them planted by foreigners during a dictatorship. These maps show recent MODIS heat detections on top of mapping of plantations (purple). 1/x

Tragic wildfire situation in Chile.

Tragic wildfire situation in Chile.
TheHotshotWakeUp: Podcast@HotshotWake

Absolute chaos in Chile today. 7 people have been reported killed so far during this week’s fires. I am getting reports from helicopter pilots down there working, seeing whole villages run over while they try to operate. Unreal accounts coming out of the country #Chile #wildfire
