  • Publication number: 20120160525
    Abstract: A closed-loop system employs video analytic outputs in a feedback loop to control the operation of a video-based fire detection system. In particular, video data captured by a video detector is analyzed by a video analytic system to generate outputs identifying regions indicative of fire. These outputs are employed as feedback in a closed-loop control system to orient the camera such that field of the view of the camera is modified to improve the ability of the video analytic system to verify or confirm the presence of fire within a region identified as indicative of fire. In addition, video analytic system may generate outputs identifying the delivery location of a fire suppressant. These outputs are employed as feedback in a closed-loop control system to orient the delivery of suppressant to extinguish the fire.
