Abstract
Fire accidents in residential, commercial, and industrial environments are a major concern since they cause considerable infrastructure and human life damage. On other hand, the risk of fires is growing in conjunction with the growth of urban buildings. The existing techniques for detecting fire through smoke sensors are difficult in large regions. Furthermore, during fire accidents, the visibility of the evacuation path is occupied with smoke and, thus, causes challenges for people evacuating individuals from the building. To overcome this challenge, we have recommended a vision-based fire detection system. A vision-based fire detection system is implemented to identify fire events as well as to count the number people inside the building. In this study, deep neural network (DNN) models, i.e., MobileNet SSD and ResNet101, are embedded in the vision node along with the Kinect sensor in order to detect fire accidents and further count the number of people inside the building. A web application is developed and integrated with the vision node through a local server for visualizing the real-time events in the building related to the fire and people counting. Finally, a real-time experiment is performed to check the accuracy of the proposed system for smoke detection and people density.
Highlights
In recent years, there have been several fire-related injuries causing widespread devastation and a significant loss of human life
A video surveillance system based on CCTV is generic, and this can be further utilized for fire detection [34]
The proposed vision node will be integrated into CCTV with night vision and thermal imaging capabilities
Summary
There have been several fire-related injuries causing widespread devastation and a significant loss of human life. Over 18–20 people die in India every day as a result of fire [1], and these data indicate that the several fire incidents occur in residential buildings vs several deaths. In. India, almost 6296 people die each year because of fires and other similar causes. Almost 6296 people die each year because of fires and other similar causes Many of these deaths could be prevented if fires were detected early and people were directed to a safe spot. As per the national building code, the safety measures required in high-rise buildings are fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, sprinklers, PA system, safe fire escape routes, sufficient water supply, fire pumps, refuge area and authorized electrical system, etc
