FoSp: Focus and Separation Network for Early Smoke Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Early smoke segmentation (ESS) enables the accurate identification of smoke sources, facilitating the prompt extinguishing of fires and preventing large-scale gas leaks. But ESS poses greater challenges than conventional object and regular smoke segmentation due to its small scale and transparent appearance, which can result in high miss detection rate

Deep Domain Adaptation Based Video Smoke Detection using Synthetic Smoke Images [PDF]

open access: yesFire Safety Journal 93C (2017) pp. 53-59, 2017
In this paper, a deep domain adaptation based method for video smoke detection is proposed to extract a powerful feature representation of smoke. Due to the smoke image samples limited in scale and diversity for deep CNN training, we systematically produced adequate synthetic smoke images with a wide variation in the smoke shape, background and ...
