Abstract
A video-based fire detection system currently under development at Washington State University is presented. The prototype system is intended to be a practical solution to the need for fire protection in industrial settings, such as in warehouses and on factory floors, or in situations in which a black and white video camera is already in use (e.g., for surveillance).
