Efficient Deep Learning Framework for Fire Detection in Complex Surveillance Environment

To prevent economic,social,and ecological damage,fire detection and management at an early stage are significant yet challenging.Although computationally complex networks have been developed,attention has been largely focused on improving accuracy,rather than focusing on real-time fire detection.Hence,in this study,the authors present an efficient fire detection framework termed E-FireNet for real-time detection in a complex surveillance environment.The proposed model architecture is inspired by the VGG16 network,with significant modifications including the entire removal of Block-5 and tweaking of the convolutional layers of Block-4.This results in higher performance with a reduced number of parameters and inference time.Moreover,smaller convolutional kernels are utilized,which are particularly designed to obtain the optimal details from input images,with numerous channels to assist in feature discrimination.In E-FireNet,three steps are involved:preprocessing of collected data,detection of fires using the proposed technique,and,if there is a fire,alarms are generated and transmitted to law enforcement,healthcare,and management departments.Moreover,E-FireNet achieves 0.98 accuracy,1 precision,0.99 recall,and 0.99 F1-score.A comprehensive investigation of various Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)models is conducted using the newly created Fire Surveillance SV-Fire dataset.The empirical results and comparison of numerous parameters establish that the proposed model shows convincing performance in terms of accuracy,model size,and execution time.

Fire Detection Method Based on Depthwise Separable Convolution and YOLOv3

Recently,video-based fire detection technology has become an important research topic in the field of machine vision.This paper proposes a method of combining the classification model and target detection model in deep learning for fire detection.Firstly,the depthwise separable convolution is used to classify fire images,which saves a lot of detection time under the premise of ensuring detection accuracy.Secondly,You Only Look Once version 3(YOLOv3)target regression function is used to output the fire position information for the images whose classification result is fire,which avoids the problem that the accuracy of detection cannot be guaranteed by using YOLOv3 for target classification and position regression.At the same time,the detection time of target regression for images without fire is greatly reduced saved.The experiments were tested using a network public database.The detection accuracy reached 98%and the detection rate reached 38fps.This method not only saves the workload of manually extracting flame characteristics,reduces the calculation cost,and reduces the amount of parameters,but also improves the detection accuracy and detection rate.
