To reduce the loss induced by forest fires, it is very important to detect the forest fire smoke in real time so that early and timely warning can be issued. Machine vision and image processing technology is widely used for detecting forest fire smoke. However, most of the traditional image detection algorithms require manual extraction of image features and, thus, are not real-time. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of using the deep convolutional neural network to detect forest fire smoke in real time. Several target detection deep convolutional neural network algorithms evaluated include the EfficientDet (EfficientDet: Scalable and Efficient Object Detection), Faster R-CNN (Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks), YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once V3), and SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) advanced CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) model.
