Automatic edge detection algorithm and area calculation for flame and fire images

Abstract

With the advent of industrialization and rise of power generation plants, the cases of firing are on the rise. Besides other methods of fire detection, the technology today has touched every single aspect of human life in a way that are unimaginable. It is widely used for instant recognition and managing a rising fire. Edge detection is a significant ingredient in flame. Edge detection techniques can protect the significant structural property of the flame and also cut down the dispensation time. This technique can used to fragment a collection of flames as well. In this paper edge detection technique using morphological operation has been proposed which gives the satisfactory outcomes and is much faster than other traditional methods as demonstrated with the help od computer simulation.
