“…Recent advances in computer vision, machine learning, and remote sensing technologies offer new tools for detecting and monitoring forest fires, while the development of new materials and microelectronics have allowed sensors to be more efficient in identifying active forest fires. Unlike other fire detection review papers that have focused on various sensing technologies [ 5 ], on video flame or/and smoke methodologies in visible or/and InfraRed (IR) range [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], on various environments [ 10 ], and airborne systems [ 11 , 12 ], in this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of the most representative forest fire detection systems, focusing on those that use optical remote sensing, as well as digital image processing [ 13 ] and classification techniques [ 14 ]. Depending on the acquisition level, three broad categories of widely used systems that can detect or monitor active fire or smoke incidents in real/near-real-time are identified and discussed, namely terrestrial, aerial, and satellite.…”

The environmental challenges the world faces nowadays have never been greater or more complex. Global areas covered by forests and urban woodlands are threatened by natural disasters that have increased dramatically during the last decades, in terms of both frequency and magnitude. Large-scale forest fires are one of the most harmful natural hazards affecting climate change and life around the world. Thus, to minimize their impacts on people and nature, the adoption of well-planned and closely coordinated effective prevention, early warning, and response approaches are necessary. This paper presents an overview of the optical remote sensing technologies used in early fire warning systems and provides an extensive survey on both flame and smoke detection algorithms employed by each technology. Three types of systems are identified, namely terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne-based systems, while various models aiming to detect fire occurrences with high accuracy in challenging environments are studied. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of fire detection systems based on optical remote sensing are discussed aiming to contribute to future research projects for the development of early warning fire systems.

Many fire situations have represented the loss of lives and material costs due to the lack of early fire detection through smoke or gas sensing, which can become complex and critical. Meanwhile, engineers worldwide develop and test multiple systems for smoke and gas detection, commonly based on sensor networks, digital image processing, or computer vision. Furthermore, the detection system must work thoroughly with alarms and warnings that aware of a risk situation for prompt evacuation of the population in the surroundings based on a reliable data network topology with adequate device deployments that will let us know the moment a fire outbreak. This paper presents a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) prototype for fire detection in outdoor environments based on sensors and Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), focused on the accuracy in the temperature and gas measurement at the moment a fire starts. For its achievement, we integrated wireless components, development boards, and electronic devices, following the management of information updates through a database schema for the alarm settings based on the data gathered from the sensors.

“…The selection of hardware is a key parameter while designing fire detection and evacuation system. The parameters like accuracy, quick response, cost, size, robustness, and reliability need to be considered while selecting hardware [44]. Instead of considering ready boards for the designing system, it is recommended to develop customized hardware that assists to reduce cost and size.…”

Fire is both beneficial to man and his environment as well as destructive and deadly among all the natural disasters. A fire Accident occurs very rarely, but once it crops up its consequences will be devastating. The early detection of fire will help to avoid further consequences and saves the life of people. During the fire accidents, it is also important to guide people within the building to exit safely. Because of this, the paper gives a review of literature related to recent advancements in building fire detection and emergency evacuation system. It is intended to provide details about fire simulation tools with features, suitable hardware, communication methods, and effective user interface.
