Image Processing-Based Fire Detection and Protection System Using OPENCV

The objective of this project is to develop an advanced fire detection and protection system using image processing technology to provide early warning of fires. Traditional fire detection systems rely on smoke sensors that have limitations and are only capable of sensing fires in restricted areas. Our fire detection method based on a color model offers numerous advantages over traditional smoke detection methods. Its simplicity, feasibility, and comprehensibility make it a reliable and effective approach for detecting fires. To overcome these limitations, a Computer Vision Based Early Fire Detection system has been proposed which uses machine learning algorithms for enhanced accuracy. The system has been implemented using PyCharm IDE and either a primary or secondary camera. The input source is a webcam, which captures the video feed from the surrounding area for analysis. The code has been written in Python language using the OpenCV2 library for image processing. Then hardware is implemented which generates alerts to help prevent damage or injury.
