Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a smoke detection method and apparatus. The apparatus includes a processor configured to detect foreground blobs in images of a plurality of frames in a video; determine motion areas of detected foreground blobs; determine a first degree of overlapping of the foreground blobs in images of at least two frames, and/or determine a second degree of overlapping of the foreground blobs and motion areas to which the foreground blobs correspond; determine interfering foreground blobs according to the first degree of overlapping and/or the second degree of overlapping; and extract features from motion areas of remaining foreground blobs with the interfering foreground blobs being removed, and detect smoke according to the features. With the embodiments of this disclosure, accuracy of smoke detection may be increased, and false detection resulted from such interfering objects as water blobs, or light spots, etc., may be avoided.
