Fire Detection Technology Based on Infrared Image Processing

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a method to detect fire by processing the images captured by an CCD camera with infrared filter. First, the flame objects are detected by using two consecutive frames difference and background difference. Using genetic algorithm to optimize the threshold, the image is segmented by using Ostu. The boundary chain code is acquired on the basis of extracting flame contour. Lastly, shape feature, change feature and edge jitter feature are used to judge whether the fire exists. This method suppresses visible light interference. The experiment results show that the algorithm has higher reorganization rate in different environment.
