Visualization of Real Time Forest Fire Detection

Forest fires are a serious hazard to both the environment and human life. For an effective and timely response, early detection of these fires is essential. This study offers a reliable method for detecting forest fires utilizing the cutting-edge real-time object identification technique known as the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm method. The process entails gathering a varied dataset of photos that include both fire and non-fire scenarios, labeling the photos with bounding boxes, and using this dataset to refine a YOLO model that has already been trained. Subsequently, the YOLO model is applied to real-time fire detection in photos or live video streams sourced from forested regions. Traditional fire detection techniques have been employed, but deep learning-based techniques have drawn a lot of attention because of their high accuracy and capacity to understand intricate patterns. The current research problem of keeping computing costs low while attaining high accuracy rates with deep learning-based fire detection techniques is addressed in this study. In order to properly address this difficulty, this study provides a method based on the YOLOv8 algorithm that involves the training, validation, and testing of the model as well as its development using a bespoke dataset. The precision, recall, and F1-curve metrics provide a concise evaluation of the model's effectiveness. Notably, the model is highly proficient in fire detection, which is critical for early alerts and prevention. Our proposed method works better than existing state-of-the-art methods, according to experimental data and performance evaluations. This makes this method quite promising for fire detection.
