Techniques for reducing false alarms in infrared forest-fire automatic detection systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents techniques to reduce false alarms in forest-fire detection systems based on infrared cameras. Several software components to implement these techniques are discussed. The components are based on thresholds, oscillation detection, matching of visual and infrared images, memory, meteorological information, motion, size, shape, solar conditions and location. The paper includes a description of experiments in two forest environments, showing the ability of the proposed techniques to discriminate between forest fires and false alarms.

An Intelligent System for False Alarm Reduction in Infrared Forest-Fire Detection
FOREST FIRES CAUSE MANY ENVIronmental disasters, creating economical and ecological damage as well as endangering people’s lives. Heightened interest in automatic surveillance and early forest-fire detection has taken precedence over traditional human surveillance because the latter’s subjectivity affects detection reliability, which is the main issue for forest-fire detection systems. In curre...
متن کاملProgress in the development of a S RETGEM-based detector for an early forest fire warning system
In this paper we present a prototype of a Strip Resistive Thick GEM (S-RETGEM) photosensitive gaseous detector filled with Ne and ethylferrocene (EF) vapours at a total pressure of 1 atm for an early forest fire detection system. Tests show that it is one hundred times more sensitive than the best commercial ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors; and therefore, it is able to reliably detect a flame ...
متن کاملForest Fire Detection Algorithm Based on Digital Image
A series of computer vision-based fire detection algorithms is proposed in this paper. These algorithms can be used in parallel with conventional fire detection systems to reduce false alarms. They can also be deployed as a standalone system to detect fire combined with a video acquisition device. This paper chiefly discussed the segmentation problem. It adopted the L*a*b*, YCbCr color space an...

This paper presents the next step in the evolution of multi-sensor wireless network systems in the early automatic detection of forest fires. This network allows remote monitoring of each of the locations as well as communication between each of the sensors and with the control stations. The result is an increased coverage area, with quicker and safer responses. To determine the presence of a f...
متن کاملDevelopment of neural network committee machines for automatic forest fire detection using lidar
Lidar has considerable potential as an early forest "re detection technique, presenting considerable advantages when compared to the passive detection methods based on infrared cameras currently in common use, due to its higher sensitivity, ability to accurately locate the "re and the fact that it does not need line of sight to the 3ames. The method has recently been demonstrated by the authors...
