Fire plays a major role in providing light but it is dangerous as it spreads rapidly. This paper deals with the monitoring of fire using drones and cameras by applying image processing. Image processing is a type of processing in which input images are transformed into another image as output with certain techniques applied to it. The drone camera records the video and the recorded video is uploaded and fire is detected. This is done by using the HAAR cascade classifier algorithm. The HAAR cascade classifier, a popular object detection algorithm, is employed to identify flames in drone footage. OpenCV, a powerful open-source computer vision library, is utilized for image processing and analysis. The captured footage is then processed, and the HAAR classifier is applied to detect fire and smoke regions within the frames. To enhance the system's efficiency, various image processing techniques are implemented, such as image filtering, thresholding, and region of interest (ROI) extraction. Additionally, measures are taken to handle challenges like dynamic lighting conditions and false positive detections. The system generates alerts and notifications whenever a fire is detected, enabling prompt action by authorities or firefighting teams. Once a fire is detected the system could send an alarm and send a notification to the user’s mobile device via GSM.
