Fire Detection in Video File using Matlab

Conventional fire detection systems have a tendency of being triggered by false positives. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a smart fire detection system using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication to detect fires effectively and reduce false positives. The proposed system uses smoke and temperature sensors. SMS capability via GSM was implemented so that occupants can interact with the fire detection system and aid in the detection of false positives. The aim of this work was to design and implement a fire detection system that detects fires effectively and reduces false positives. The results show that the system meets the specifications.
