Video image-based fire detection technology can overcome some shortcomings of traditional fire detection, and has a good development prospect. This paper summarizes the basic principles of image-based fire detection, and analyzes the main features of fire combustion images. According to these features, firstly, the interframe difference method and the watershed algorithm are used to extract the suspected fire image area which may occur. Then, the features of flame image in early fire stage, such as increasing flame area, fluttering edge, irregular shape and flame color, are used as fire recognition criteria. Meanwhile, various image processing technologies and algorithms are used to extract the four main features of the fire, so as to eliminate various sources of interference and further determine whether a fire has occurred. Finally, a variety of different fuels were selected under indoor conditions to simulate fire experiments under different conditions, and the video was recorded. Fire recognition experiments were carried out using experimental videos and some videos found on the Internet. The experimental results show that the extraction and further recognition of suspected fire areas are both effective. However, the experimental simulation environment is relatively simple, and many theoretical and practical problems need to be further studied and solved.
