Fire and Smoke Detection in Complex Environments
Annotatsiya
Fire detection is a critical task in environmental monitoring and disaster prevention, with traditional methods often limited in their ability to detect fire and smoke in real time over large areas. The rapid identification of fire and smoke in both indoor and outdoor environments is essential for minimizing damage and ensuring timely intervention. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to fire and smoke detection by integrating a vision transformer (ViT) with the YOLOv5s object detection model. Our modified model leverages the attention-based feature extraction capabilities of ViTs to improve detection accuracy, particularly in complex environments where fires may be occluded or distributed across large regions. By replacing the CSPDarknet53 backbone of YOLOv5s with ViT, the model is able to capture both local and global dependencies in images, resulting in more accurate detection of fire and smoke under challenging conditions. We evaluate the performance of the proposed model using a comprehensive Fire and Smoke Detection Dataset, which includes diverse real-world scenarios. The results demonstrate that our model outperforms baseline YOLOv5 variants in terms of precision, recall, and mean average precision (mAP), achieving a [email protected] of 0.664 and a recall of 0.657. The modified YOLOv5s with ViT shows significant improvements in detecting fire and smoke, particularly in scenes with complex backgrounds and varying object scales. Our findings suggest that the integration of ViT as the backbone of YOLOv5s offers a promising approach for real-time fire detection in both urban and natural environments.
