Fire and Smoke Detection

Algorithm Introduction
Utilizing AI vision analysis of video/image data captured by cameras to automatically detect and alert on fire incidents in real time. The system identifies two distinct fire types: dense smoke (opaque particulate matter generated by combustion) and open flames (visibly glowing deep red or light yellow combustion flames). Widely applicable in fire-prone environments.
- ● Brightness requirements: Minimum bright pixel ratio (grayscale value >40) of 50% in detection area
- ● Image requirements: Optimal detection performance at 1344×800 resolution
- ● Target size: For resolutions exceeding 1344×800, minimum target size of 40 pixels (width) × 66 pixels (height)
Application Value
-
Construction Sites
For fire-prone scenarios such as welding operations and material storage at construction sites, the smoke and fire detection algorithm automatically monitors crane zones and temporary warehouses. It identifies fires in real time, issues rapid alerts to reduce fire risks, and saves on manual patrol costs. -
Industrial Parks
The algorithm monitors high-risk areas, such as chemical raw material storage and equipment operation zones. It accurately detects smoke and fire, enabling efficient hazard mitigation to enhance safety management efficiency and ensure stable production operations. -
Warehouses/Workshops
To address fire hazards such as warehouse stockpiling and aging workshop electrical circuits, the algorithm intelligently monitors shelves and production lines, detecting smoke and fire and issuing early warnings. This reduces risks of cargo loss and personnel casualties, safeguarding asset security.
FAQ

Algorithm AccuracyAll algorithms published on the website claim accuracies above 90 %. However, real-world performance drops can occur for the following reasons:
(1) Poor imaging quality, such as
• Strong light, backlight, nighttime, rain, snow, or fog degrading image quality
• Low resolution, motion blur, lens contamination, compression artifacts, or sensor noise
• Targets being partially or fully occluded (common in object detection, tracking, and pose estimation)
(2) The website provides two broad classes of algorithms: general-purpose and long-tail (rare scenes, uncommon object categories, or insufficient training data). Long-tail algorithms typically exhibit weaker generalization.
(3) Accuracy is not guaranteed in boundary or extreme scenarios.
