The performance of a fire sensor has a significant effect on fire detection. Today’s fire alarm systems, such as smoke and heat sensors, however are generally limited to a close proximity to the fire; and cannot provide additional information about fire circumstances. Thus, it is essential to design a suite of low-cost networked sensors that provide the capability of performing distributed measurement and control in real time. In this work, a wireless sensor system was developed for fire detection. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the integration of traditional fire sensors into intelligent fire management systems by using the smart transducer concept. An automated video processing sensor for fire smoke monitoring applications is integrated into an surveillance network as a case study and supported sensor fusion assessment to improve the resistance to nuisance alarms. The proposed sensor system for fire detection was developed to reconcile issues related to proliferation and interoperability, and the architecture can support a smart transducer interface (IEEE 1451). The proposed embedded system for STIM (smart transducer interface module) and NCAP (network capable application processor) will be implemented with DSP. To realize the self-identification of transducers and plug-and-play connections, a transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) is also stored inside the DSP. The acquired sensor data are pre-processed and applied to discriminate nuisance sources. The IEEE 1451 standard has been integrated into an automatic video-based fire smoke detection system. The proposed architecture has been tested on an experimental setup with the purpose of monitoring fire incidents successfully.
