Fire fighting is always a risk involved mission. To facilitate the fire extinguishing operations, autonomous robots are being developed in recent days. In this paper, we propose a fire fighting robot which uses a modular design concept to implement Fire detection, Path directing and Extinguishing operations. The usual trend in the previous implementation is the use of smoke detectors and physical sensors for fire detection as well as depth manipulation. Generally most sensors have low range and are sensitive to environmental changes. In this paper, we propose a computer vision based algorithm for fire detection and for directing the robot towards the detected fire, thereby overcoming the above limitations. Color segmentation is used in initial detection. Correlation is used to extract the non-static property of fire. Temperature sensor and UV-TRON sensor are used to confirm the presence of fire along with depth mapping. Finally, a water sprinkler is used to extinguish the detected fire.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
