Generating A Fire Spread Model

Abstract

This project uses two different neural network models to calculate how fire grows and spreads. A computational model is then applied to the neural network to create the fire spread model. The two types of neural network models that are used are a general convolutional model and a UNet model. These models were compared to each other based on their accuracy. The accuracy is measured by the level of error each model generates. It is also based on the accuracy of the calculated fire model versus the neural network generated fire model. Testing multiple models allows us to choose which model would work best for the project and provide the most accurate data on how fire spreads.
