Abstract
An integrated system based on video surveillance is presented for automatic fire detection and suppression. The system is composed of two modules, including fire detection and fire suppression. The fire detection module makes full use of traditional CCD cameras for fire recognition. Some spatio-temporal features, such as color and motion, are extracted to detect fire in real time by utilizing sequential image processing techniques. Once a fire is detected, the system will control the fire suppression module to extinguish the fire automatically. It mainly consists of control device, mobile device, and water gun. Experiments performed in a large space hall show that the integrated system can detect a fire about a few seconds after ignition and automatically suppress the fire quickly.
