Visual fire power is a method for measuring the heat release rate of visible flames from video footage taken by two cameras located at a right angle to each other. It does this by estimating the volume of the flames, and then scaling by the Orloff-DeRis constant. The method is explained in our paper published in Fire Technology in 2022.
