Early Image Fire-Detection Based on Maximum Margin Criterion

Nowadays as camera is applied widely, image fire detection becomes much popular. Many researchers are committed to analyze the RGB color model or even gray images. Actually they have some disadvantages. So this paper will present a new model based on Maximum Margin Criterion, a feature extraction criterion. As it is maximizing the difference of between-class scatter matrices and within-class scatter matrices, it does not depend on the nonsingularity of the within-class scatter matrix. First we will introduce the main idea and then give a mathematical description to apply the model to fire detection, with the algorithm we can calculate the result we need. At last we will put them into practice, use a database to do some experiments to present the performance of this method.
