In addition to ordinary motion and color clues, flame flicker process is also detected by using a hidden Markov model. Markov models representing the flame and flame colored ordinary moving objects are used to distinguish flame flicker process from motion of flame colored moving objects. Spatial color variations in flame are also evaluated by the same Markov models, as well. These clues are combined to reach a final decision. False alarms due to ordinary motion of flame colored moving objects are greatly reduced when compared to the existing video based fire detection systems.EnglishFlame detectionFlame flicker processesHidden Markov modelsColor image processingData processingMarkov processesMathematical modelsMotion estimationObject recognitionVideo recordingConference Paper10.1109/ICIP.2005.1530284
