| description | Residential fire is one of the most neglected problem in Singapore. Very few
residential premises are installed with fire detection system. The situation is becoming
worse as more and more people are getting e-scooter at home. These e-scooters could
easily catch fire or even explode due to over-charging. This causes the residential fire
more frequent and uncontrollable.
Most of the fire detectors are not effective in implementation in residential premises
due to false alarm. Cooking or burning incense paper could easily trigger the fire
detector. These activities are, in fact, not a real fire situation which generally happen
in every household on a daily basis. Without any better solution specifically for
residential application, excessive false alarm will happen and cause unnecessary
disruption to the residents.
This project aims to propose a new fire detection framework that could be effectively
implemented in residential premises. We’ve come out with an idea of using artificial
intelligence to detect the elements of SAFE state of fire. This idea is mainly inspired
by industrial fire watcher and ‘no-fire detector’ by Rainer Siebel. 4 hot works
(activities with elevated temperature to achieve useful purpose) that generally happen
in residential premises are targeted in this project, including cooking, burning incense
paper, lighted cigarette and mosquito coil.
The results show that our approach succeed to identify the hot works and being more
immune to false alarm as compared to smoke detector. Our approach could
complement with the existing detector to work as a 2-layer detection system, stopping
the detector from triggering unwanted alarm if the hot work is detected by our
framework. |
