Develop a multi-detection security system using multi-sensor fusion algorithms

Abstract

The paper develops the multi-detection system using multi-level surveillance structure. The system contains active detection modules, passive detection modules, a supervised computer, an image system and an intelligent home. The passive detection modules contain wire/wireless detection modules and appliance control modules, and decide the event to be true or not using fusion algorithms, and transmit detection signals to the supervised computer via wire/wireless interface. Mobile robots are active detection modules and carry various sensors to search dangerous events. Each mobile robot transmits the real-time event signal to the supervised computer and the other mobile robots via wireless RF interface. The image system detects fire source using Otsu algorithm. The system integrates wire/wireless passive detection modules, mobile robots and image system to detect fire source using weighted average method. If the fire event occurs, the supervised computer calculates the dangerous grade using logical filter method according to the signals of detection modules in the first step, and transmits the position of the fire event to the other mobile robots. The assigned mobile robots move to the event location for double check autonomously, and transmit the detection results to the supervised computer. The supervised computer gives the final decision according to the feedback signals in the second step. Finally, we present some experimental scenarios using passive detection modules, active detection modules and image system for the fire detection in the intelligent home.
