A Methodological Survey for Fire Detection in Camera Surveillance

One of the leading hazards affecting everyday life around the world might be smoke, fire and flame. Smoke detectors are widely used for detecting fire and raised alarm saving people life. However, faulty smoke detectors cause false alarm resulting from smoke and fire. In addition, smoke detector fails to detect fires in large spaces including outdoor spaces, auditorium, and warehouses which are not reliable. With rapid development traditional fire detection system has been replaced by vision based system. Researchers got attracted towards the detection method which is visually based. Now a days to monitor on real time activities surveillance cameras are placed in all hazardous places. The advantages of real time fire detection using surveillance cameras are summarized as following points first, intuitive techniques. Second, no delay time in real time detection as high transmission and induction. Third, surveillance camera having larger detection range and is confined to remote areas. Fourth, real time detection allows recording and saving the activity which helps us for future verification of fire occurrence.
