Image Processing Based Forest Fire Detection using Infrared Camera

Abstract

When time goes by, human beings are advancing in technology, artificial and natural disasters are drastically increasing. The forest fire is one of the hazards. Forest fire incinerates trees that provide us with oxygen and if it is not detected early, it is very elusive to stop a forest fire from continue burns. The project’s objective is to capture infrared image of forest fire detection using the appropriate camera, detect fire with RGB and YCbCr colour model to isolate fire pixels from the background and separate luminance and chrominance from the original image, and filter image using MATLAB Analyzer to process images. The method is tested on a selected image, which captured by the camera that contains fire. Next method is used for calculating and analysing the fire image, which to differentiate between fire detection or false detection. Other method is used to process the fire image, which the image will compute and shown in terminal nodes and graphs by using Wavelet Analyzer 5.0. The results of this system are achieved fire detection and obtain data for the fire images.
