Abstract
Early detection and distinguish of mine fires can avoid or reduce casualties, property damage, and secondary accidents. There are no natural light sources such as sunlight, moonlight, starlight, and lightning underground, and the main factor affecting the recognition of mine fire images is the mine light source. Circularity can eliminate interference from circular light sources, but it is difficult to exclude interference from non-circular light sources. Rectangularity can eliminate interference from rectangular light sources, but it is difficult to exclude interference from non-rectangular light sources. In engineering practice, due to the different shooting angles of the camera, the image of the mine light source may deform and cannot present an ideal regular shape. It is difficult to eliminate the interference of the mine light source using circularity and rectangularity algorithms. It has been revealed that the area of the external connection graphic area of the flame image is significantly larger than the actual area of the image, and the external connection graphic area of the actual light source image of the mine, such as circular lamps, rectangular lamps, and square lamps, is approximately equal to the actual area of the light source image. In this study, a mine fire recognition and anti-interference method is proposed based on the internal concavity of image, the ratio of the target image area to the external connection graphic area of the image (i.e. internal concavity of image) is calculated, and the flames and mine light sources are distinguished based on the small concavity value in the flame image and the large concavity value in the mine light source image. The internal concavity method proposed in this paper is not affected by the distance from the camera to the detection target and the size of the image, the installation position and angle of the camera to capture the detection target, and the shape of the mine light source. It has strong adaptability and high recognition accuracy. The experiment shows that the internal concave recognition method calculates the maximum average difference between the mine interference light source and the flame image, with the smallest fluctuation and the best discrimination. It is also least affected by the camera’s shooting angle and distance, and has the strongest anti-interference ability, with an accuracy of 91.6%. The rectangular recognition method calculates the average difference between the mine interference light source and the flame image, with small fluctuations and good discrimination. It is less affected by the camera’s shooting angle and distance, and has average anti-interference ability, with an accuracy rate of 72.5%. The roundness recognition method calculates the minimum average difference between the mine interference light source and the flame image, with the highest fluctuation and the worst discrimination. It is less affected by the camera shooting distance and more affected by the camera shooting angle, and has the worst anti-interference ability, with an accuracy of 12.0%. Therefore, the internal concave recognition method proposed in this paper is superior to rectangular and circular degrees, with the best discrimination, minimal influence from camera shooting angle and distance, and the strongest anti-interference ability.
