Application of Color Histogram Segmentation Method in Fire Detection

Flame segmentation is an important part in fire detection.Effective segmentation methods can eliminate background interference at initial stage.It help to reduce the computational complexity in detection process.For unique color distribution,the flame color is different from other objects in the background.Try to use color histogram segmentation method in fire detection.Convert the RGB flame image to HIS color space,and extract each components under the histogram.Finally,to filter out the flame zone,by Otsu thresholding in hue and brightness histogram.Experiments results show the efficiency of this method.
