Three main novel ideas have been introduced. Firstly, a flame color model in RGB and HIS color space is used to extract pre-detected regions instead of traditional motion differential method, as it’s more suitable for fire detection in indoor environment. Secondly, according to the flicker characteristic of the flame, similarity and two main values of centroid motion are proposed. At the same time, a simple but effective method for tracking the same regions in consecutive frames is established. Thirdly,a multi-expert system consisting of color component dispersion,similarity and centroid motion is established to identify flames.The proposed method has been tested on a very large dataset of fire videos acquired both in real indoor environment tests and from the Internet. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieved a balance between the false positive rate and the false negative rate, and demonstrated a better performance in terms of overall accuracy and F standard with respect to other similar fire detection methods in indoor environment.展开更多

Due to the diversity of the raw materials used and the multi-device multi-variable characteristics,this process still encounters with control problem. An attempt was proposed to deal with this issue. The three-device-integrated feature of the process was firstly analyzed to obtain control strategy,and then an intelligent control system using a combination of expert system approach and Takagi-Sugeno( T-S) fuzzy model was developed. Expert system approach was used to diagnose and remedy the abnormal conditions,while T-S fuzzy model was used to stabilize the thermal state. In the construction of T-S fuzzy rules,antecedents were identified by fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm incorporated with subtractive clustering algorithm,and consequent parameters were identified by recursive least square algorithm. The control system was applied in a Chinese pelletizing plant and the application results demonstrated its effectiveness of stabilizing the thermal states within three devices.展开更多
