Color and Motion-based Fire Detection in Video Sequences

Abstract

A wide distribution of CCTV cameras in many public areas can be used not only for video surveillance systems but also for preserving fire occurrence. A proposed approach is based on visual information through a static camera. Video sequences are analyzed to find fire candidates and then spatial analyses procedure for detected fire-like color foreground is carried out. If spatial and temporal variances changes rapidly and close to fire motion, fire candidate is considered as fire.
