What is IoT-Based Fire Detection Systems?
IoT-Based Fire Detection Systems integrate Internet of Things sensors, edge computing, and computer vision for real-time, distributed fire monitoring in smart buildings and cities.
Researchers combine thermal sensors, smoke detectors, and cameras with wireless networks for early fire alerts. Systems use deep learning models like YOLO-v8 for accurate detection amid challenges like fog or urban clutter. Over 2,500 citations across 14 key papers document advances since 2013.
Why It Matters
IoT fire systems enable predictive alerts in smart cities, reducing response times from minutes to seconds as shown in Fatma M. Talaat and Hanaa ZainEldin (2023) with YOLO-v8 achieving 95% accuracy on urban footage. Faisal Saeed et al. (2018) demonstrated fuzzy logic integration in homes cutting false alarms by 40% via environmental modeling. Udaya Dampage et al. (2022) scaled wireless sensor networks for forests, preventing ecosystem losses valued at billions annually.
Key Research Challenges
Fog and Environmental Interference
Smoke detection fails in foggy IoT settings due to obscured visuals. Salman Khan et al. (2019) report 25% accuracy drops in CNN models under low visibility. Energy-efficient deep CNNs address this but require edge optimization.
False Positive Reduction
Urban surveillance triggers alarms from non-fire events like steam. Khan Muhammad et al. (2019) highlight tactile internet needs for CNN filtering in uncertain environments. Multi-sensor fusion mitigates this per Fatma M. Talaat et al. (2023).
Scalable Sensor Deployment
Wireless networks strain under large-scale forest or city monitoring. Udaya Dampage et al. (2022) note battery life limits in machine learning classifiers. IoT integration demands low-power protocols as in Fawad Khan et al. (2022).
