A Smart Fire Detector using Raspberry Pi and OpenCV-Python

Fire detection systems are necessary in big organizations as well as in many different big or small organizations to provide more security as well as to get secure from damage caused because of fire. There are many existing fire detection systems based on sensors etc but the limitations of such existing systems are they can detect fire within a limited area and they are using smoke detection techniques. To overcome previous method limitations in the proposed work we have a Raspberry Pi module and OpenCV python libraries for fire detection in real- time through a Raspberry Pi camera. Even if there is no fire detected the display will show the ‘Fire Condition: Normal’ and when there is a fire detected it will display ‘Fire Condition: Fire detected’ on the LCD screen. When fire is detected RED color LED will glow and in normal conditions GREEN color LED will glow. In the condition of fire detected even start starting motor pump to start the water for fire suppression.
