FSH-DETR: An Efficient End-to-End Fire Smoke and Human Detection Based on a Deformable DEtection TRansformer (DETR).

ABSTRACT

Fire is a significant security threat that can lead to casualties, property damage, and environmental damage. Despite the availability of object-detection algorithms, challenges persist in detecting fires, smoke, and humans. These challenges include poor performance in detecting small fires and smoke, as well as a high computational cost, which limits deployments. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end object detector for fire, smoke, and human detection based on Deformable DETR (DEtection TRansformer) called FSH-DETR. To effectively process multi-scale fire and smoke features, we propose a novel Mixed Encoder, which integrates SSFI (Separate Single-scale Feature Interaction Module) and CCFM (CNN-based Cross-scale Feature Fusion Module) for multi-scale fire, smoke, and human feature fusion. Furthermore, we enhance the convergence speed of FSH-DETR by incorporating a bounding box loss function called PIoUv2 (Powerful Intersection of Union), which improves the precision of fire, smoke, and human detection. Extensive experiments on the public dataset demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses state-of-the-art methods in terms of the mAP (mean Average Precision), with mAP and mAP50 reaching 66.7% and 84.2%, respectively.
