Abstract

In this paper, we present an optimal threshold setting method for flame detection of infrared thermal image. Conventional infrared flame detection methods used fixed intensity threshold to segment candidate flame regions and further processing is performed to decide correct flame detection. So flame region segmentation step using the threshold is important processing for fire detection algorithm. The threshold should be change in input image depends on camera types and operation conditions. We have analyzed the conventional thresholds composed of fixed-intensity, average, standard deviation, maximum value. Finally, we extracted that the optimal threshold value is more than summation of average and standard deviation, and less than maximum value. it will be enhance flame detection rate than conventional fixed-threshold method.

본 논문은 열영상 기반의 화염 검출을 위한 기존의 문턱치 설정 기법들을 분석하고 최적 문턱치 설정 방안을 제시한다. 기존의 열영상 기반의 화염검출 알고리즘들은 보통 고정 문턱치를 이용하여 화염 후보영역을 추출하고 후처리를 통해 화염 검출을 최종 판정하므로 화염 후보영역의 결정 과정은 최종 화재 검출 결과에 많은 영향을 준다. 따라서 카메라의 종류나 운영 환경에 따라 입력 영상의 대비와 밝기의 변화가 발생하기 때문에 화염 검출 문턱치는 입력영상의 특성에 연동하여 설정되어져야 한다. 따라서 최적 문턱치 설정 방안을 제시하기 위해 고정 명암도, 평균값, 표준편차 및 최대값을 이용한 문턱치 설정 기법들을 비교 분석하였다. 결론적으로 최적 문턱치는 평균과 표준편차의 합보다 크며 최대값 보다는 작은 값으로 설정 한다면 화염 검출 정확도가 기존 고정 문턱치 방식에 비해 크게 개선될 것으로 기대된다.
