Fired:An Image-Based Fire Detector for Smart Homes using Machine Learning Algorithms

Smart homes are to be protected from fire hazards which is a crucial safety concern. Existing ways of detecting fire is time consuming, hence causing maximum injuries and financial loss, so we have come up with an effective solution for detecting fire in smart homes using image processing and Machine Learning techniques. FireD extracts the features from photos and captured video frames using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and in turn sends them to Neural Network which implements clustering algorithm known as Yolov5 to ensure the ability to classify images as Fire and Non-Fire. Once the fire is detected, model will send the images to Heroku cloud which serves as container based cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) to access, deploy and manage the images. On the detection of fire Notification is sent to Telegram through telegram bot. Overall performance data from model indicates that FireD is likely to perform well in real-world scenarios. Therefore, FireD is more reliable than other existing systems since FireD application is pushed to the docker container with all the required libraries and files. The application can be accessed and implemented easily.
