I agree that this *can* happen and often *does* happen. I'd be
interested in a broader discussion of the mechanisms. The simple
answers seem obvious to me,

Just noting, I think these are visualizations of fire progressions which
means that this is the equivalent of watching an animated radar map (though
perhaps less accurate?). We see where the fire was estimated to be after the
fact. Not what the fire will do.
Amazing to see the scale of the

After seeing this, I sent a question to the quoted researcher, Scott
Bachmeier, about his method for calculating plume height. I asked if it was
based on from a single image using sun angle and shadows, multiple
offset satellite
images or ground triangulation His reply just came in:

to compute the angular altitude of an object above the horizon and the
range of possible linear altitudes given the range of visible distances
along the azimuth.

Marcus may have meant calibrated pinhole instead of fisheye.
This is the approach we're using where we click on points in the photo and
then corresponding points in google earth plugin. With 7 points we then
solve for the pinhole camera parameters. Or, in the case that the image is
from cell
Just in case, here's the photosynth site: http://photosynth.net/
One thing that may be lost in all this is that the fire progression maps
are educational tools for incident commanders. History is important. They
can scrub the fire's progress back forth to validate their own evaluation

Why? Point the camera at the object in question, if you can get an

Aren't the sensors kind of low resolution and noisy?
Looks like Marcus did mean fisheye...cool paper.
