AI Based Fire Detection Using CNN With Mail Alert Notification (11)
Abstract
Fire detection is a critical safety measure that requires quick and accurate identification to
minimize damage and ensure timely response. This project focuses on developing an AI-based
fire detection system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) integrated with Python,
OpenCV, and SMTP for real-time alerting. The system leverages CNN's ability to analyze visual
data to detect fire regions in video streams or images. OpenCV, a powerful computer vision
library, is employed for preprocessing, such as image enhancement, noise reduction, and region
segmentation, to ensure the CNN model receives optimized input. The proposed approach
ensures high detection accuracy by training the model on diverse datasets of fire and non-fire
scenarios, making it robust to variations in lighting, smoke, and environmental conditions.
Once a fire is detected, the system immediately sends a mail alert notification via the
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), ensuring rapid communication with the relevant
authorities or stakeholders. This real-time notification system is designed to enhance the
efficiency of emergency response teams by reducing reaction times. The proposed solution is
cost-effective and can be deployed in residential, commercial, and industrial setups. By
integrating AI-based fire detection with automated alert systems, the project aims to reduce fire-
related risks and improve overall safety through intelligent monitoring and rapid action.
