The invention relates to a method for identifying and detecting flame of a tunnel fire hazard. The method comprises the following steps: performing a pretreatment of eliminating illumination on an input video stream; performing motion detection on the video stream to obtain a moving pixel; performing color detection on the video stream to obtain a color pixel with flame characteristics; searching communication areas which are formed by all mutually connected pixels according with same characteristics; calculating out the perimeters and the areas of the obtained communication areas to perform shape analysis; and performing area variation analysis on each communication area to finally judge whether a fire hazard happens. The method, based on a fire hazard detection system with image processing, can correctly identify flame information from an image sequence with background noise according to the characteristics of flame images that the color, the shape and glittery characteristic, the position, the area and the brightness of the flame images change over time, thus the method can separate the real flame from a glittery vehicle lighting in a tunnel, greatly reduce the false alarm rate, and achieve the aim of fire hazard monitoring.

A position and color detection sensor (for detecting a position of a light spot in a light distribution that can include stray light components, e.g. from other lasers, ambient lighting etc.) includes two discrete response position sensitive detectors (DRPSDs). The first DRPSD is used to calculate a raw estimate of the spot position and the second DRPSD is used to calculate the actual spot position based on information from the first DRPSD. Color is supported by further dividing each pixel of the first DRPSD into elementary photocells, each one covered with an appropriate optical filter. The use of two DRPSDs differing in pixel geometries makes them suitable for integration on the same chip using the same process. This reduces production and alignment costs. Further, analogue microelectronic processes can be used for color filter deposition and simple optics can be used for beam splitting and shaping.

The invention discloses a method for detecting fire disaster smog by video on the basis of color saturation and motion mode, which comprises the following steps: firstly, extracting a foreground motion block from a video image acquired by a monitoring camera through a difference method; secondly, detecting the color saturation of the foreground motion block, estimating the direction of the motion block, and calculating the cumulant and the main moving direction of the motion block; and thirdly, calculating the color saturation detection percentage of each region, the average cumulant and the main moving direction ratio to form a characteristic vector, and adopting a Bayesian classifier to judge whether the smog is the fire disaster smog.
