Abstract / Excerpt:

The occurrence of fire in a household specifically in Davao City is not easy to notice. Because of the country’s climate where there are only two seasons, wet and dry, there are greater possibilities for fire to occur, for at most of a year the season is dry. This means that every household should have the capacity to secure their houses against fire. By the means of computer vision and GSM modem, this project can secure houses by notifying the household for each time it detects fire via SMS.

This project aims to develop a fire detection software that will be used for indoor purposes specifically for households that transmits an SMS Alert to a phone when it captures visible fire. With the use of EmguCV, a cross­platform of OpenCV library in .NET framework, it can now integrate color detection with HSV library using fuzzy logic algorithm, motion detection and geometric analysis in Visual C#.

For sending SMS to a specific mobile number, a GSM modem with a sim card will be connected to the computer, a specified com port for pc and modem interaction will be used to send/transfer data to the modem. The sim card must have a remaining balance in order to send alerts to mobile phones. The number including the alert logs were stored in the MySQL database. The number registered on the database can be updated and will be able to get alerts in case the application detects fire.

For testing purposes, gathered videos were examined through the application. The data were categorized into two: Fire and Non­-Fire. The accuracy was based if the application can detect visible or false fire and whether it can send SMS after fire was detected.
