Fires can potentially cause significant harm to both people and the environment. Recently, there has been a growing interest in real-time fire and smoke detection to provide practical assistance. Detecting fires in outdoor areas is crucial to safeguard human lives and the environment. This is especially important in situations where more than traditional smoke detectors may be required. In this work, we propose FIRESTART, which aims to achieve accurate and robust ignition detection for prompt identification and response to fire incidents. The proposed framework utilizes a lightweight deep learning architecture and post-processing techniques for fire-starting interval detection. Its evaluation was conducted on the ONFIRE dataset, comparing it with several state-of-the-art methods. The results are encouraging, particularly from computational and real-time use perspectives.

Abstract
Fires can potentially cause significant harm to both people and the environment. Recently, there has been a growing interest in real-time fire and smoke detection to provide practical assistance. Detecting fires in outdoor areas is crucial to safeguard human lives and the environment. This is especially important in situations where more than traditional smoke detectors may be required. In this work, we propose FIRESTART, which aims to achieve accurate and robust ignition detection for prompt identification and response to fire incidents. The proposed framework utilizes a lightweight deep learning architecture and post-processing techniques for fire-starting interval detection. Its evaluation was conducted on the ONFIRE dataset, comparing it with several state-of-the-art methods. The results are encouraging, particularly from computational and real-time use perspectives.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
