Abstract
The proposed system detects any signs of forest fires using video as input in real-time using deep learning. The process begins by converting video data either from live video feed or from stored data into frames. Preprocessing involves resizing and normalizing of these frames before feature extraction through CNN. The extracted features include colour, texture, and intensity of the flame which are then classified as fire or no-fire condition.
In case of fire, the system will automatically issue warnings using audio alerts.
