Recently, fire monitoring application systems have been an active research area due to the safety of industries, historical monuments and so on. The fire monitoring application systems can reduce the damage of properties by providing earlier warning for possible fire situation. However, the existing systems have a drawback that they detect fire with delay due to their uniform epoch in fire detection algorithm. Moreover, they do not provide user-friendly graphical user interfaces in their fire monitoring systems. To resolve the problems, First, we propose a new fire detection algorithm (Early Fire Detection Fire Algorithm) which uses the distribution of sensing data for early fire detection. Our fire detection algorithm is better in terms of fire detection time than the existing work because it can set a start time of fire detection epoch dynamically based on data distribution. Second, we develop a fire monitoring application system which provides users with both a user-friendly graphical user interface and a fire alarm message when fire occurs. Finally, we show from our experiment that our developed system is effectively used for early fire warning in a variety of fire situations.

As structures are higher, large-sized and more complex, we should detect the fire at the beginning and cope with it to reduce the loss of mankind and the physical damage due to fire. So we have investigated and developed various kinds of fire detection system, and do the efforts for minimizing the nonfire alarm. As there exists a close relationship between the technology development and the market potential, a comparison between the number of fires in special buildings and detection types were made to find out market potential based on the annual statistics on fire products inspection. In addition, we have discussed the causes of nonfire alarm and the fire detection system and prospect the research trend of the fire detection system.

When a fire happens in builds or apartments, peoples are tend to be caught in dangerous situations owing to the failure of searching escape route to the outside. In this work, an efficient fire detection and alarm system which makes it possible for the escapers to take adequate actions is proposed. The proposed system consists of two parts. One is fire detection modules which are located at each compartments in a building. The other is fire warning modules equipped with portable flashes having ability of visual/voice warning. Fire detection information is transmitted between each modules wirelessly. In this work, an efficient communication protocol for sensor network-based fire detection system is proposed and its feasibility is verified by practical experiments using MANGO ZDK Development tools

This paper is concerned with the Performance and Reliability Certification for fire detection system in outdoor area such small and middle sized cultural assets, natural monument and outdoor facilities. Especially, if a fire were to occur in vulnerable area, it is difficulty to detect a fire. therefore we propose a high efficiency and low cost unmanned fire detection system in capable of an early detection regardless spontaneously fire or firebug. for Adoption of Intelligent Fire Detection System with movable and unmanned function breaking from the existing Conventional Fire Detection System, this Range of R&D includes the Performance test, Function test, Field test, Flame Detection test and EMI/EMS Compliance test. the Result data of Performance test, Function test and Field test is generally good during 3 months. also we checked that thermal variation test and EMI/EMS compliance test are good result data within allowable range. As a result of general test, we verified improvement results that the measure distance of fire detection extend 75 m, the Power of waiting time increase 4 hours, the Power of operation time increase 3 days and the context awareness with video as well as sensors.

In this paper, we propose intelligent fire learning and detection system using hybrid visual attention mechanism of human. Proposed fire learning system generates leaned data by learning process of fire and smoke images. The features used as learning feature are selected among many features which are extracted based on bottom-up visual attention mechanism of human, and these features are modified as learned data by calculating average and standard variation of them. Proposed fire detection system uses learned data which is generated in fire learning system and features of input image to detect fire.

Automatic fire alarm system is set up to automatically detect fire on buildings. Because of economic reasons, P-type receiver and a conventional type fire detector is normally used for automatic fire alarm system in Korea. Because early detection of fire is regarded as important, the need of finding technique of fire location increases. This paper is studied a method to improve a reliability and add a function of fire location detection on a conventional type fire detector and P-type receiver. Fire location is detected by a method that controller attached on the receiver and the detector is read with a time lag. A reliability of fire detection alarm system is improved with a method that false fire alarm is able to decrease using two different principle detector together. This paper is studied for basic data of improvement of low-cost addressable automatic fire alarm system.

Today's urban transit system is regarded as the important public transportation service which saves passengers' time and provides the safety. Many researches focus on the rapid and protective responses that minimize the losses when dangerous situation occurs. In this paper we proposed the early fire detection and corresponding rapid response method in urban transit system by combining automatic fire detection for video input and the sensor system. The fire detection method consists of two parts, spark detection and smoke detection. At the spark detection, the RGB color of input video is converted into HSV color and the frame difference is obtained in temporal direction. The region with high R values is considered as fire region candidate and stepwise fire detection rule is applied to calculate its size. At the smoke detection stage, we used the smoke sensor network to secure the credibility of spark detection. The proposed system can be implemented at low prices. In the future work, we would improve the detection algorithm and the accuracy of sensor location in the network.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a single fire causes a lot of damage, so fires are one of the disaster situations that must be alerted as soon as possible. Various technologies have been utilized so far because preventing and detecting fires can never be completely accomplished with individual human efforts. Recently, deep learning technology has been developed, and fire detection systems using object detection neural networks are being actively studied. In this paper, we propose a new fire detection system that improves the previously studied fire detection system. We train the YOLOv8 model using refined datasets through improved labeling methods, derive results, and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system by comparing it with the results of previous studies.

This paper presents a network based fire detection system using CAN, in order to evaluate feasibility of home automation protocol for smart home. In general, because a traditional fire detection system has an analog transmission method with 4-20mA current, it has several shortcomings such as weakness to noise. Hence, as an alternative to the traditional system, this paper presents the architecture of CAN based fire detection system and the design method of CAN communication network. Also, the performance of the suggested system is evaluated through an experimental testbed. Especially, CAN has several advantages such as low cost and easiness of implementation compared to Ethernet or ARCNET, which are low layer of BACNet. Therefore, if CAN is adopted as low layer of BACNet, the home automation system is implemented more effectively.
