Abstract Earth resource and environmental monitoring are essential areas that can be used to investigate the environmental conditions and natural resources supporting sustainable policy development, regulatory measures, and their implementation elevating the environment. Large-scale forest fire is considered a major harmful hazard that affects climate change and life over the globe. Therefore, the early identification of forest fires using automated tools is essential to avoid the spread of fire to a large extent. Therefore, this paper focuses on the design of automated forest fire detection using a fusion-based deep learning (AFFD-FDL) model for environmental monitoring. The AFFD-FDL technique involves the design… More >

Abstract Due to the rapid growth and spread of fire, it poses a major threat to human life and property. Timely use of fire detection technology can reduce disaster losses. The traditional threshold segmentation method is unstable, and the flame recognition methods of deep learning require a large amount of labeled data for training. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new method combining You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) network model and improved flame segmentation algorithm. On the basis of the traditional color space threshold segmentation method, the original segmentation threshold is replaced by the proportion… More >

Abstract To prevent economic, social, and ecological damage, fire detection and management at an early stage are significant yet challenging. Although computationally complex networks have been developed, attention has been largely focused on improving accuracy, rather than focusing on real-time fire detection. Hence, in this study, the authors present an efficient fire detection framework termed E-FireNet for real-time detection in a complex surveillance environment. The proposed model architecture is inspired by the VGG16 network, with significant modifications including the entire removal of Block-5 and tweaking of the convolutional layers of Block-4. This results in higher performance with a reduced number of… More >

Abstract Disasters may occur at any time and place without little to no presage in advance. With the development of surveillance and forecasting systems, it is now possible to forebode the most life-threatening and formidable disasters. However, forest fires are among the ones that are still hard to anticipate beforehand, and the technologies to detect and plot their possible courses are still in development. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) image-based fire detection systems can be a viable solution to this problem. However, these automatic systems use advanced deep learning and image processing algorithms at their core and can be tuned to provide… More >

Abstract Since the number of fires in the world is rising rapidly, automatic fire detection is getting more and more interest in computer vision community. Instead of the usual inefficient sensors, captured videos by video surveillance cameras can be analyzed to quickly detect fires and prevent damages. This paper presents an early fire-alarm raising method based on image processing. The developed work is able to discriminate fire and non-fire pixels. Fire pixels are identified thanks to a rule-based color model built in the PJF color space. PJF is a newly designed color space that enables to better reflect the structure of… More >

Abstract Compared with the traditional techniques of forest fires detection, wireless sensor network (WSN) is a very promising green technology in detecting efficiently the wildfires. However, the power constraint of sensor nodes is one of the main design limitations of WSNs, which leads to limited operation time of nodes and late fire detection. In the past years, wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been known as a proper solution to prolong the operation time of sensor nodes. In WPT-based mechanisms, wireless mobile chargers (WMC) are utilized to recharge the batteries of sensor nodes wirelessly. Likewise, the energy of WMC is provided… More >

Abstract The detection of fires in surveillance videos are usually done by utilizing deep learning. In Spite of the advances in processing power, deep learning methods usually need extensive computations and require high memory resources. This leads to restriction in real time fire detection. In this research, we present a time-efficient fire detection convolutional neural network coupled with transfer learning for surveillance systems. The model utilizes CNN architecture with reasonable computational time that is deemed possible for real time applications. At the same time, the model will not compromise accuracy for time efficiency by tuning the model with respect to fire… More >
