Abstract

Fire detection is a very important problem today due to the economical, ecological and naturalistic value of forests for our world. In this paper it is presented a system that detects fire and operates in real-time by using some TV cameras, suitably placed in the external environment.

The detection is obtained through a completely new approach based on the dynamic evolution of fire smokes classified by means of Artificial Intelligence techniques.
