Raspberry Pi is named as a very small computer that can be easily carried in hand, and can be used in many educational and industrial fields in innovative ways, especially when these projects contribute to saving lives. Raspberry Pi uses the open-source Linux operating system to make interacting with different computer hardware and software easier.
One renowned innovator, Aneeshamol, relied on using Raspberry Pi to control fires using artificial intelligence technology.
The success of this project lies in the ability to recognize images in a specific monitored area using a camera. All you have to do is point it towards the area you want to monitor and train the artificial intelligence to check for fires. Raspberry Pi 4 B is the personal computer chosen by the innovator Anishamol to control the fire monitoring device.
The OpenCV library aims to analyze images through video clips, where each frame is examined separately, and then differences are checked using the Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color model gradient. If a potential fire is detected, it can automatically notify users via text messages.
When we look at the project page, it explains by Aneeshamol the different scenarios of using the image-based artificial intelligence system for fire monitoring.
The system can be programmed to help differentiate between smoke and visually similar phenomena like clouds, and can estimate the severity of the situation. Additionally, the invention includes a special board that enhances the mobile network to send notifications in case of a fire.
