New vision-based method enhances fire and smoke detection using transformers

Researchers have developed a novel attention-based spatio-temporal approach for detecting fire and smoke, addressing limitations of traditional sensors in outdoor environments. The method integrates spatial and temporal features, employing transformer modules to enhance accuracy and reduce errors iteratively. This approach aims to improve workplace safety by providing a robust vision-based solution for fire and smoke detection. AI

IMPACT This vision-based detection method could improve safety in industrial and outdoor settings by offering a more robust alternative to traditional sensors.

    Attention-Based Spatio-Temporal Approach for Fire and Smoke Detection

    arXiv:2610.20141v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In various industries, smoke and fire are two of the most important threats in the workplace. One of the common methods for detecting smoke and fire is the use of infrared thermal and smoke sensors, which cannot be used in outdoor a…
