Review on video image processing technique in fire detection and the possibility of application in controlling atrium smoke management system

Brief:

The shortcomings of conventional fire and smoke sensors are evaluated in this paper. A new kind of fire detection technique based on video image processing is introduced. The advantages, achievements in algorithms and hardware, research contents, and characteristics of this detection method are discussed in detail. From the current review, video smoke and fire detection is recommended. Further, the uses of fire fighting robots are briefly discussed as well. Application to control atrium smoke management system is proposed.
