An Automatic Detection of the Fire Smoke Through Multispectral Images

Authors

Abstract:

One of the consequences of a fire is smoke. Occasionally, monitoring and detection of this smoke can be a solution to prevent occurrence or spreading a fire. On the other hand, due to the destructive effects of the smoke spreading on human health, measures can be taken to improve the level of health services by zoning and monitoring its expansion process. In this paper, an automated method is proposed to detect the dilute smoke caused by large fires in multispectral images. The main idea of this method is the impossibility of precisely reconstructing the smoke in the bands affected by smoke (blue band) using regression models from other spectral bands. In the first step of the proposed method, the absolute value of the residuals of the regression estimation of blue spectral band is transformed into a binary mask with the help of Otsu thresholding. Afterwards, in an iterative process, non-smoke areas are detected and then clustered. In the iteration process, a regression model is fitted for each cluster and for each pixel, coefficients with the least error of the blue band reconstruction is used. Through more accurate estimation of the blue band, it reduces the effect of First Positive Error and leads the mask of residuals obtained from thresholding process to the smoke areas. The final step of the proposed method is to refine and remove the incorrect image segments. This method has been successful in detecting diluted smokes and also in disregarding smoke in non-smoky images. The results show the average accuracy of  99.04 percent in several datasets with diluted smokes.

Automatic Hotspot and Sun Glint Detection in UAV Multispectral Images

Last advances in sensors, photogrammetry and computer vision have led to high-automation levels of 3D reconstruction processes for generating dense models and multispectral orthoimages from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images. However, these cartographic products are sometimes blurred and degraded due to sun reflection effects which reduce the image contrast and colour fidelity in photogrammet...

An Intelligent Automatic Early Detection System of Forest Fire Smoke Signatures using Gaussian Mixture Model

The most important things for a forest fire detection system are the exact extraction of the smoke from image and being able to clearly distinguish the smoke from those with similar qualities, such as clouds and fog. This research presents an intelligent forest fire detection algorithm via image processing by using the Gaussian Mixture model (GMM), which can be applied to detect smoke at the ea...

Edge Detection in Multispectral Images

This paper proposes an extension of edge detectors based on second-order differential operators to the case of multiple band (color) images. To this end, we deline a local directional measure of multispectral contrast. A definition of edge point is then given, as the location of a directional maximum of the contrast function. Extremal contrast edges are defined, as loci of zero crossing points ...
