Abstract

To avoid the large scale of damage when fire occurs in the tunnel, it is necessary to have a system to minimize the damage, and early discovery of the problem. In this paper, we have proposed algorithm using the image processing, which is the high-speed detection for the occurrence of fire or smoke in the tunnel. The fire detection is different to the forest fire detection as there are elements such as car and tunnel lightings and other variety of elements different from the forest environment. Therefore, an indigenous algorithm should be developed.The two algorithms proposed in this paper, are able to complement with each other and also they can detect the exact position, at the earlier stay of detection. In addition, by comparing properties of each algorithm throughout this experiment, we have proved the propriety of algorithm.
