@article{Wang2008_0,<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Abstract = {We describe a method for generating synthetic infrared remote sensing scenes of wildland fire.  These synthetic scenes are an important step in the data assimilation process within the context of a dynamic data-driven fire propagation model.  The scenes are built using the 2D output of fire position from a fire propagation code and prior knowledge of fire physics and behavior to estimate the 3D shape of the flame.  The scene radiance is then estimated by employing a physic-based ray tracing model called DIRSIG to render the radiation that would reach a sensor on an airborne platform.  Values of the Fire Radiated Energy (FRE) calculated from the synthetic radiance scene compare well with previously published values, providing validation of the method.},<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Author = {Zhen Wang and Anthony  Vodacek and Janice L.
