This paper is an experimental study to find an optimal detection method for detecting fire early in a rack-type warehouse stored with goods. In this study, we constructed rack-type structure with the fourth floor of 13.5 m high and conducted fire experiments which were to measure flow of heat/smoke in rack-type structure and response time of fire detectors. The detectors used at experiments were fixed temperature type detectors, rate of rise detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, air sampling smoke detectors and flame detectors. The used ignition sources are n-heptane fire for response of heat detection and cotton fire for response of smoke detection. The fixed temperature type detectors, rate of rise detectors and photoelectric detectors were installed to every rack level respectively. The results show that the rate of rise detector should be installed every 2 levels and photoelectric smoke detector should be installed every 4 levels for the early stage fire detection. Air sampling smoke detectors can detect fire early in response to control of sensitivity, but there is a problem in false alarm. The fixed temperature detector is not suitable for early stage fire detection in warehouse and flame detector not worked if flame is not visible, so it need to install combination with other detector.

In this study we suggest fire detection algorithm using fuzzy inference with input variables of temperature and smoke density to detect electrical fire of early stage. The algorithm consists of membership function of temperature and smoke density and fire probability. The antecedent part of the algorithm consists of temperature and smoke density, and the consequent part consists of fire possibility. The inference rules of the algorithm is estimated to input temperature and smoke density obtained by real fire. With the help of algorithms using fuzzy inference we may be diagnose electrical fire precisely.

From the beginning of aviation history, in-flight smoke/fire events have been a serious issue. As aircraft are getting larger and are becoming more auto-piloted and aircraft systems are getting more complex, it is an increasing risk of in-flight smoke/fire accidents accompanied with fire events. Therefore, we review the statistics of fire/smoke accidents in order to enhance an understanding for risk of in-flight smoke events, and present the certification requirements for smoke per KAS Part 25. In addition, we provide acceptable methods of complying with related requirements, such as smoke detection test, smoke penetration test and smoke evacuation test.

The existing methods for detection of fire smoke in a video easily lead to misjudgment of cloud, fog and moving distractors, such as a moving person, a moving vehicle and other non-smoke moving objects. Therefore, an algorithm for detection of fire smoke in a video based on wavelet energy slope fitting is proposed in this paper. The change in wavelet energy of the moving target foreground is used as the basis, and a time window of 40 continuous frames is set to fit the wavelet energy slope of the suspected area in every 20 frames, thus establishing a wavelet-energy-based smoke judgment criterion. The experimental data show that the algorithm described in this paper not only can detect smoke more quickly and more accurately, but also can effectively avoid the distraction of cloud, fog and moving object and prevent false alarm.

Fire-alarm systems are safety equipment that facilitate rapid evacuation and early suppression in case of fire. It is highly desirable that fire-alarm systems have low false-alarm rates and are thus reliable. Until now, researchers have attempted to improve detector performance by applying new technologies such as IoT. To this end, IoT-based fire-detection systems have been developed. However, due to scarcity of large-scale operational data, researchers have barely studied malfunctioning in fire-alarm systems or attempted to reduce false-alarm rates in these systems. In this study, we analyzed false-alarm rates of smoke/temperature detectors and unwanted fire-alarm signal patterns at K institution, where Korea's largest IoT-based fire-detection system operates. After analyzing the fire alarm occurrences at the institution for five years, we inferred that the IoT-based fire-detection system showed lower false-alarm rates compared to the automatic fire-detection equipment. We analyzed the detection pattern by dividing it into two parts: normal operation and unwanted fire alarms. When a specific signal pattern was filtered out, the false-alarm rate was reduced to 66.9% in the smoke detector and to 46.9% in the temperature detector.

시대가 발전함에 따라 초고층 건물들이 도처에 세워지고 밀집되어 있다. 이러한 건물에 화재가 발생되면 발화지점 근처로 불이번지면서 대형화재의 위험성이 높아지고 이에 따른 인명 및 재산 피해가 증가한다. 따라서 이런 대형화재를 예방하고 피해를 최소화하기 위해서 화재를 미연에 감지하는 화재감지 기술에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 화재를 감지하기 위해 열감지기, 연기감지기, 불꽃감지기 등을 사용하는 방법이 있으나 본 논문에서는 감시 카메라에서 들어오는 입력 영상을 분석하여 화염과 연기를 초기에 감지하는 화재감지 시스템의 최근 연구 동향을 알아보고자 한다. 또한 이러한 화염과 연기 감지 알고리즘들을 다양한 형태의 동영상을 이용하여 구현 및 성능을 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 감시 카메라를 통해 입력된 영상 정보로 연기와 화염을 실시간 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 산불은 막대한 인명, 재산피해를 불러오기 때문에 조기 감지에 따른 초기 진화가 매우 중요하다. 제안하는 산불 감시 알고리즘은 화염 감지와 연기 감지로 나뉘는데, 화염 감지는 단일 프레임에서 YCbCr 컬러 모델에서의 조건 검사를 통하여 화염을 검출한다. 연기 감지를 위해서는 먼저 현재 영상과 인접한 프레임들의 평균 영상사이의 차를 가중치로 이용하여 배경 범위를 설정하고, 이 범위를 벗어나면서 회색조를 갖는 픽셀만을 연기영역으로 검출한다. 제안하는 화염 감지 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘보다 일조량에 따른 조도의 변화에 강건하고, 연기 검출 알고리즘은 단위 시간동안의 변화량을 고려하여 회색조의 픽셀만을 연기로 감지하기 때문에 효과적인 조기 산불 탐지가 가능하다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 산불 감시 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘보다 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 불이 비슷한 색의 연기로 둘러싸여 있더라도 정확하게 검출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 불 영역 검출 알고리즘들은 화재 이미지에서 불과 연기를 잘 분리해내지 못하는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 불 영역 검출 알고리즘을 적용하기 전에 전처리 과정으로써 색상 보정 기법과 안개 제거 기법을 적용함으로써 성공적으로 불을 연기로부터 분리해냈다. 실제로 연기로 뒤덮인 화재 현장의 이미지들에서 기존 기법들보다 불을 더 효과적으로 검출하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 제안한 화재 검출 알고리즘을 공장, 가정 등에서 효율적인 화재 탐지를 위해 사용할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper presents a study on the analysis for reducing the number of false alarms in fire detection system. In order to intelligent algorithm fuzzy logic is adopted in developing fire detection system to reduce false alarm. The intelligent fire detection algorithm compared and analyzed the fire and non-fire signatures measured in circuits simulating flame fire and smoldering fire. The algorithm has input variables obtained by fire experiment with K-type thermocouple and optical smoke sensor. Also triangular membership function is used for inference rules. And the antecedent part of inference rules consists of temperature and smoke density, and the consequent part consists of fire probability. A fire-experiment is conducted with paper, plastic, and n-heptane to simulate actual fire situation. The results show that the intelligent fire detection algorithm suggested in this study can more effectively discriminate signatures between fire and similar fire.

Fires are a common cause of catastrophic personal injuries and devastating property damage. Every year, many fires occur and threaten human lives and property around the world. Providing early important sign for early fire detection, and therefore the detection of smoke is always the first step in fire-alarm systems. In this paper we propose an automatic smoke detection system built on camera surveillance and image processing technologies. The key features used in our algorithm are to detect and track smoke as moving objects and distinguish smoke from non-smoke objects using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for cascade classification. The results of our experiment, in comparison with those of some earlier studies, show that the proposed algorithm is very effective not only in detecting smoke, but also in reducing false positives.
