Image-based real-time fire detection using deep learning with data augmentation for vision-based surveillance applications

With recent advances in embedded processing capability, vision-based real-time fire detection has been enabled in surveillance devices. This paper presents an image-based fire detection framework based on deep learning. The key is to learn a fire detector relying on tiny-YOLO (You Only Look Once) v3 deep model. With the advantage of lightweight architecture of tiny-YOLOv3 and training data augmentation by some parameter adjusting, our fire detection model can achieve better detection accuracy in real-time with lower complexity in the training stage. Experimental results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
