With the rapid development of technology, skyscrapers are widely spread and they are tightly coupled. If fire occurs in a building, it is easily spread to neighboring buildings, resulting in the large number of victims and property damages. To remove fire disasters, the need for early fire detection techniques is increasing. To detect fire, detecting devices for heat, smoke, and flame have been used widely. However, this paper surveys and presents the latest research which focuses on early smoke and flame detection algorithms and systems with camera's input images. In addition, this paper implements and evaluates the performance of these flame and smoke detection algorithms with several types of movies.

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.

A video flame detection method analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics of the regions which have the flame-like color and moving objects in the input video. The video flame detector should be able to reduce a false alarm rate without the degradation of flame detection capability. The conventional methods can reject the false alarm caused by the car lights and some electric lights. However they make the false alarm caused by the warning lights, neon sign, and some periodic flickering lights which have the flame-like color and temporal features. This paper propose the video flame detection method with periodicity analysis based false alarm rejection. The proposed method can detect the periodicity of the flickering electric lights and can reject the false alarm caused by the periodic electric lights. The computer simulation showed that the proposed method did not make the false alarm in the test video with the periodic electric lights. But the conventional methods made a false alarm in the same test video.

The detection capability of UV flame detector in dust environment would be impaired. In this study, an experiment was conducted, in an effort to further understand the behavior of UV flame detector and to evaluate its detection capability in industry dust environment. Detergent powder, coal powder and dry extinguishing agent were selected as dust sources. Flaming sources include propane and gasoline flame. Experiment results indicate that dust can cause remarkable attenuation of UV flame radiation. The concentration of dust and the length of air layer where dust dispersed determine the reduction of radiation intensity. On the other hand, the attenuation of UV radiation also depends on the chemical and Physical properties of dust.

In this paper, we propose a new real-time algorithm detecting the flame and smoke in digital CCTV images. Because the forest fire causes the enormous human life and damage of property, the early management according to the early sensing is very important. The proposed algorithm for monitoring forest fire is classified into the flame sensing and detection of smoke. The flame sensing algorithm detects a flame through the conditional test at YCbCr color model from the single frame. For the detection of smoke, firstly the background range is set by using differences between current picture and the average picture among the adjacent frames in the weighted value, and the pixels which get out of this range and have a gray-scale are detected in the smoke area. Because the proposed flame sensing algorithm is stronger than the existing algorithms in the change of the illuminance according to the quantity of sunshine, and the smoke detection algorithm senses the pixel of a gray-scale with the smoke considering the amount of change for unit time, the effective early forest fire detection is possible. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides better performance than existing algorithms.

Rapidly detecting and warning of fires is necessary for minimizing human injury and property damage. Generally, when fires occur, both the smoke and the flames are generated, so fire detection systems need to detect both the smoke and the flames. However, most fire detection systems only detect flames or smoke and have the disadvantage of slower processing speed due to additional preprocessing task. In this paper, we implemented a fire detection system which predicts the flames and the smoke at the same time by constructing a CNN model that supports multi-labeled classification. Also, the system can monitor the fire status in real time by using Grad-CAM which visualizes the position of classes based on the characteristics of CNN. Also, we tested our proposed system with 13 fire videos and got an average accuracy of 98.73% and 95.77% respectively for the flames and the smoke.

화염 영역 검출을 위해 이전 기법에서는 화재 이미지에서 연기제거 및 색상보정을 통해 이미지를 전처리하였다. 그러나 이 기법은 임계값에 영향을 많이 받고, 밝기채널을 이용하여 검출하기 때문에 밤에 일어난 화재 이미지에서는 평균이상의 퍼포먼스를 수행하지만, 주변이 밝은 대낮의 화재 이미지에서는 퍼포먼스가 줄어드는 문제가 있다. 이를 보완하고자 본 논문에서는 CycleGAN을 이용하여 낮 이미지를 밤 이미지로 바꾸어 이미지 전처리를 진행하는 기법을 제안함으로써 화염 감지의 정확도가 개선되었음을 실험을 통해 보여준다.

일반적으로 화재 감지 시스템은 정확하고 빠르게 화재를 감지하는 것은 어려운 문제 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 U-net을 활용하여 기존의 화재(불) 영역 추출 기법으로 Segmentation으로 보다 정밀하게 탐지하는 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 화재 이미지에서 연기제거 및 색상보정을 통해 이미지를 전처리하여 화염 영역을 추출한 뒤 U-Net으로 학습시켜 이미지를 입력하면 불 영역의 Segmentation을 추출하도록 한다.

Detecting wildfire using only color in image information is a very difficult issue. This paper proposes an algorithm to detect forest fire area by analyzing color and motion of the area in the video including forest fire. The proposed algorithm removes the background region using the Gaussian Mixture based background segmentation algorithm, which does not depend on the lighting conditions. In addition, the RGB channel is changed to an HSV channel to extract flame candidates based on color. The extracted flame candidates judge that it is not a flame if the area moves while labeling and tracking. If the flame candidate areas extracted in this way are in the same position for more than 2 minutes, it is regarded as flame. Experimental results using the implemented algorithm confirmed the validity.

전통사회가 근대화 되면서 정치 경제 사회 문화 등의 전반적인 발전이 이루어졌다. 농촌지역들이 도시화 되면서 새로운 건물들이 지어지고 기존의 건물들이 증축되면서 건물은 점점 높아지고 대형화 되었다. 또한 건물들이 밀집되면서 한 곳에서 발생한 화재가 건물 내에서 번지거나 또는 주변 건물 등에 옮겨 붙어 대형화재로 이어질 수 있는 위험이 증가되고 있다. 대형 화재를 예방 하고 화재사고의 인명 및 재산 피해를 최소화하기 위해서 화재를 조기에 감지하는 화재감지 기술에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 화재가 발생 될 때 나타나는 화재의 특징들을 살펴보고 이를 통해 화재를 조기에 판단하기 위한 조건을 알아본다. 또한 이러한 조건들에 부합되는 최근의 연기 및 화염 감지 시스템의 연구 동향에 대해 알아본다.
