Abstract


In open environments, when there is a low relative humidity and excessive heat, a small spark can be the trigger for large wildfires to happen. Facing the unpredictability of the fire, detecting it early is important to streamline the fire fighting and then minimize its consequences. Research with convolutional neural networks - CNN - has increased exponentially with the use of various technologies for the detection of fire. With that, this paper presents a fire and smoke detection method on videos based on removing background and then applying a CNN to detect it. As preliminary results, the proposed process was able to achieve an accuracy of 92,73% in the Fire Smoke Detection Network (FSDN) architecture and 94,88% in the XCeption architecture. These results are similar to the ones found in literature showing that apply CNN after background motion subtraction is a good way to solve the fire and smoke detection problem.
