FPGA Deployable Fire Detection Model for Real-Time Video Surveillance Systems Using Convolutional Neural Networks

AbstractConventional surveillance systems for preventing accidents and incidents do not identify 95% thereof after 22 min when one person monitors a plurality of closed circuit televisions (CCTV). To address this issue, while computer-based intelligent video surveillance systems have been studied to notify users of abnormal situations when they happen, it is not commonly used in real environment because of weakness of personal information leaks and high power consumption. To address this issue, intelligent video surveillance systems based on small devices have been studied. This paper suggests implement an intelligent video surveillance system based on embedded modules for intruder detection based on information learning, fire detection based on color and motion information, and loitering and fall detection based on human body motion. Moreover, an algorithm and an embedded module optimization method are applied for real-time processing. The implemented algorithm showed performance of 88.51% for intruder detection, 92.63% for fire detection, 80% for loitering detection and 93.54% for fall detection. The result of comparison before and after optimization about the algorithm processing time showed 50.53% of decrease, implying potential real-time driving of the intelligent image monitoring system based on embedded modules.

Background: Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease. Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection. Methods: Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography videos. Results: Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper- second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all models. Conclusion: Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system to echocardiography for medical purposes.
