FOREST FIRE DETECTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

   Abstract-In this paper, we propose a novel system for detecting fire using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Detection of fire can be extremely difficult using existing methods of smoke sensors installed in the buildings. They are slow and cost inefficient due to their primitive design and technology. This paper critically analyze the scope of Artificial intelligence for detection and sending alerts with video from CCTV footages. This project uses self-built dataset containing video frames with fire. The data is then pre-processed and use the CNN to build a machine learning model. The test set of the dataset is given as input for validating the algorithm and experiments are noted. The project focus on building cost efficient and highly accurate machine that can be used in almost any use case of fire detection.
