SmartFire Car: An Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence-Based Fire Detection and Extinguishing System

In this work, we present a novel image processing and artificial intelligence-based autonomous vehicle system for swift fire detection and suppression. The suggested approach offers a unique and economical option, especially for developing nations, to properly tackle fire-related threats in crowded residential spaces and outdoors. The algorithm used by the system, the Haar cascade, is effective in spotting fire in real-time video feeds. After detecting and determining the ideal stopping distance from the fire, the SmartFire car begins to effectively and efficiently extinguish it. To put the proposed theoretical system to the test in actual practical settings, we developed our prototype. The capacity of the SmartFire prototype to measure distances from the fire source and continue operating amid several fire sources has been used to evaluate its effectiveness. To make the system reliable and efficient, its limitations, such as the smallest fire size needed for detection, have also been examined. This work has the potential to significantly contribute to the modernization of the traditional fire-fighting system, particularly in developing countries, leading to more effective fire-handling capabilities.
