Video-based flame detection using LBP-based descriptor: Influences of classifiers variety on detection efficiency

Abstract

Techniques to detect the flame at an early stage are necessary in order to prevent the fire and minimize the damage. The flame detection technique based on the physical sensor has limited disadvantages in detecting the fire early. This paper presents the results of using local binary patterns for solving flames detecting problem and proposes modifications to improve the quality of detector work. Experimentally found that using support vector machines classifier with a kernel based on Gaussian radial basis functions shows the best results compared to other SVM cores or classifier k-nearest neighbors.
