Abstract

A detection algorithm, based on the well known two-input Kendall-Tau trend detector is presented. The necessary modifications and preprocessing requirements for fire detection purposes are discussed. Experimental results are shown, concerning the detection capability and the false alarm resistance of the detection algorithm under realistic environmental conditions. A method for automated optimization of decision thresholds in a given installation environment is proposed.
