Real-time factory smoke detection based on two-stage relation-guided algorithm.

Recently, air quality analysis based on image sensing devices has attracted much attention. Since most smoke images in real scenes have challenging variances, which is difficult for existing object detection methods. To keep real-time factory smoke under efficient and universal social supervision, this paper proposes a mobile-platform-running efficient smoke detection algorithm based on image analysis techniques. We introduce the two-stage smoke detection (TSSD) algorithm based on the lightweight detection framework, in which the prior knowledge and contextual information are modeled into the relation-guided module to reduce the smoke search space, which can therefore significantly improve the performance of the single-stage method. Experimental results show that the proposed TSSD algorithm can robustly improve the detection accuracy of the single-stage method and the model has good compatibility for image resolution inputs. Compared with various state-of-the-art detection methods, the accuracy [Formula: see text] of our proposed TSSD model reaches 59.24[Formula: see text], even surpassing the current detection model Faster RCNN. In addition, the detection speed of our proposed model can reach 50 ms (20 FPS), meeting the real-time requirements. This knowledge-based system has the advantages of high stability, high accuracy, fast detection speed. It can be widely used in some scenes with smoke detection requirements, such as on the mobile terminal carrier, providing great potential for practical environmental applications.
