A Probabilistic Approach for Vision-Based Fire Detection in Videos
Introduced one of the first techniques for automated video-based fire detection. Work led to cooperation in the security field with United Technologies, (UTRC): http://www.utrc.utc.com/pages/our_company.html. Ongoing cooperation resulted in recent (2011) grant from the EU 'SecurityDG' (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/security/home_en.html); grant value, €0.7M QMUL and €0.9M for UTRC (Lasie project start date 01.01.2014). The technology was also key to securing four large cooperative projects bringing additional €3.2M funding for QMUL: K-Space, RUSHES, MESH and aceMedia (Prof. K.V Rijsbergen: keith@dcs.gla.ac.uk, Dr. Peter Houghton: PDHoughton@taz.dstl.gov.uk). This well cited seminal paper also led to a series of four additional papers published by the author in IEEE transactions.
