Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new fire detection method using moving features and colors of flames in video sequences. It uses YCbCr color space to separate the luminance from the chrominance components more effectively than RGB color space. In the proposed method, moving regions of flames are detected by cumulating the difference of luminance between two consecutive images and generate candidate flame regions by using the color of flames. Finally, it decides whether the candidate flame regions are flames or not by using their temporal changes of the areas. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs better in segmenting fire regions compared with the conventional fire detection method in video sequences.
