Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a smoke detection system and a smoke detection method. The smoke detection system includes a camera, a storage unit, and a processor. The camera acquires a current image and a previous image. The storage unit stores a plurality of modules. The processor is coupled with the camera and executes the plurality of modules. The processor generates a difference image based on the current image and the previous image. The processor inputs the current image and the difference image to a semantic segmentation model so that the semantic segmentation model outputs a smoke confidence map. The smoke confidence map is generated based on whether a current environment is a dark environment or a bright environment. The processor analyzes the smoke confidence map to determine whether a smoke event occurs in the current image. Therefore, a reliable smoke detection function can be achieved.
