Abstract

Although various fire prevention efforts have been made, fire incidents continue to occur in various regions. To minimize the risk of these fires, a quick response is necessary so that mitigation efforts can be promptly carried out. This can be achieved by implementing a fire detection system. In such a system, smoke detection is one of the key elements aimed at providing a quick response to potential fire hazards. The development of a smoke detection algorithm is therefore crucial for enhancing the performance of the fire detection system. This study proposes a smoke detection algorithm that combines the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) segmentation method and region growing. The input data is in the form of video, which undergoes various preprocessing steps to prepare the data in the required format. Then, in the processing stage, two segmentation steps are carried out: GMM segmentation and region growing. GMM segmentation focuses on dividing the regions in the image into several clusters. Meanwhile, the region growing process is applied to expand the regions identified as smoke by considering the spatial context of the pixels. The output generated is a binary image with smoke objects in white and the background in black. Visually, the algorithm shows that the proposed approach is capable of providing better smoke detection compared to single segmentation methods. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of the smoke detection algorithm using GMM and region growing segmentation in improving the performance of fire detection systems.
