Abstract: In order to prevent fire accidents at construction sites and improve fire detection performance, a detection and early warning robot based on combination of SSD and MobileNet model was designed. Firstly, data set of collected fire video images was processed and divided into two categories, namely real fire images and non-fire images. Secondly, network parameter values in SSD_MobileNet model were fine-tuned based on idea of migration learning. Finally, the obtained model was integrated into robot video surveillance platform for fire detection and early warning, and its application effect was tested on a construction site. The results show that the robot can accurately detect fire in construction sites with a 50% confidence threshold of detection model. Accuracy of multi-frame video exceeds 90%, and real-time warning can be achieved.
