Fire detection system using image pocessing

Abstract

Fire detection is the main objective of this project besides surveillance. The aim of the project is to early detection of fire apart from preventive measures to reduce the losses due to hazardous fire. The project mainly is based on image processing and arduino serial communication. In this project, at the user end, the fire images will be feeded in the form of video frames. These images will be further processed by using the software, MATLAB. The proposed system uses RGB and YCbCr color space. The advantage of using YCbCr color space is that it can separate the luminance from the chrominance more effectively than RGB color space. along with this smoke, motion, area detection is also performed using its color characteristics. The proposed system consist of hardware such as arduino, DHT 11 to monitor the Humidity and Temperature. There is a camera for the surveillance. This camera will give a real-time video output to the user on the laptop or computer via a small GUI-graphic user interface which is to be built in MATLAB. Thus the fire will be detected using this model. This project can also be served for security and surveillance applications.
