As unwanted fire alarms within the automatic fire detection system increase, fire-fighting power gets wasted. This is recognized as important because it causes a decrease in the evacuation reliability of the occupancy. Therefore, in order to develop measures to reduce unwanted fire alarms, foreign (United States and, United Kingdom) and domestic standards related to unwanted fire alarms were compared and analyzed in the present study. Through the analysis the problems with the standards were identified as uncertainty regarding the detecting space and radius of the smoke detector, the absence of a statistical database (DB) for unwanted fire alarms, the absence of a protocol for managing unwanted fire alarms, and the absence of testing standards for unwanted fire alarms based on scenarios. Consequently, it is proposed that to deal with the problems, it is necessary to ascertain the detecting space and radius of the smoke detector, to propose unwanted fire alarm protection codes for database (DB) system construction, to supplement the fire safety management log by developing related manuals, and to develop unwanted fire alarm testing standards of Korean type based on scenarios.

Many methods of fire detection in video have been carried out on PC. Generally it needs long cables to transmit images and processes videos on computers. That system is too dependent on computers, and costs a lot using cables to transmission. We would rather use a portable device to detect fire, which will bring us much more convenience. This paper designed a portable system to detect fire using DSP. The system integrates video acquisition, image processing and fire alarm together in a circuit board. Then we develop algorithms to recognize fire, and transplant them into DSP. Finally put it into use after commissioning test. This portable system can work independently. Users can put into their requirements through user-interface, and system will output the fire pictures and alarm by wireless communication or internet. This system is applicable to various places, such as indoor and outdoor, large and open spaces, forest, etc.

This paper presents a parallel TBB-CUDA implementation for the acceleration of single-Gaussian distribution model, which is effective for background removal in the video-based fire detection system. In this framework, TBB mainly deals with initializing work of the estimated Gaussian model running on CPU, and CUDA performs background removal and adaption of the model running on GPU. This implementation can exploit the combined computation power of TBB-CUDA, which can be applied to the real-time environment. Over 220 video sequences are utilized in the experiments. The experimental results illustrate that TBB+CUDA can achieve a higher speedup than both TBB and CUDA. The proposed framework can effectively overcome the disadvantages of limited memory bandwidth and few execution units of CPU, and it reduces data transfer latency and memory latency between CPU and GPU.
