Flame Detection for Video-based Early Fire Warning Systems and 3d Visualization of Fire Propagation

Early and accurate detection and localization of flame is an essential requirement of modern early fire warning systems. Video-based systems can be used for this purpose; however, flame detection remains a challenging issue due to the fact that many natural objects have similar characteristics with fire. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for video based flame detection, which employs va...

Fire and Flame Detection Methods in Images and Videos

FIRE AND FLAME DETECTION METHODS IN IMAGES AND VIDEOS Yusuf Hakan Habiboğlu M.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. A. Enis Çetin August 2010 In this thesis, automatic fire detection methods are studied in color domain, spatial domain and temporal domain. We first investigated fire and flame colors of pixels. Chromatic Model, Fisher’s linear discriminant, Gaussian m...

Urban residential fire and flame injuries: a population based study.

BACKGROUND Fires are a leading cause of death, but non-fatal injuries from residential fires have not been well characterised. METHODS To identify residential fire injuries that resulted in an emergency department visit, hospitalisation, or death, computerised databases from emergency departments, hospitals, ambulance and helicopter services, the fire department, and the health department, an...

Photo-Consistent 3D Fire by Flame-Sheet Decomposition

This paper considers the problem of reconstructing visually realistic 3D models of fire from a very small set of simultaneous views (even two). By modeling fire as a semi-transparent 3D density field, we show that fire reconstruction is equivalent to a severely under-constrained computerized tomography problem, for which traditional methods break down. Our approach is based on the observation t...
