Video-Based Integrated Fire Detection, Positioning and Water Cannon Suppression Intelligent System

Abstract:

Fire detection system has been developed for years, but the existing systems are either non-intelligent or non-integrated. This paper supposed a design of an intelligent and integrated fire safety surveillance system. We integrate video fire detection, fire positioning and fire suppression together into one intelligent system. Firstly, the video fire detection subsystem could recognize fire in the monitoring scene by processing the image sequences from the camera in real time. This subsystem will send fire alarm and video of fire scene to the control centre, and the centre will give positioning commands to the fire positioning subsystem. Secondly, the fire positioning subsystem will compute the coordinates of fire by images from two cameras of different position. The position information of fire will be also sent to the control centre and the centre will command fire suppression subsystem to work. Finally, the fire suppression subsystem could adjust the water cannon to the fire according to the coordinates of fire and spray water to put out the fire automatically. This integrated system can work independently and automatically. This system is applicable to various places, such as warehouse, workshop, dormitory, etc.
