Video fire detection based on Gaussian Mixture Model and multi-color features

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach to detect fire from a video stream. It takes full advantage of the motion feature and color information of fire. Firstly, motion detection using Gaussian Mixture Model-based background subtraction is applied to extract moving objects from a video stream. Then, multi-color-based detection combining the RGB, HSI and YUV color space is employed to obtain possible fire regions. Finally, the results of the above two steps are combined to identify the accurate fire areas. The experimental results obtained by applying this method on different fire videos show that the proposed method can achieve better effectiveness, adaptability and robustness.
