Defogging Learning Based on an Improved DeepLabV3+ Model for Accurate Foggy Forest Fire Segmentation.

In recent years, the utilization of deep learning for forest fire detection has yielded favorable outcomes. Nevertheless, the accurate segmentation of forest fires in foggy surroundings with limited visibility remains a formidable obstacle. To overcome this challenge, a collaborative defogging learning framework, known as Defog DeepLabV3+, predicated on an enhanced DeepLabV3+ model is presented. Improved learning and precise flame segmentation are accomplished by merging the defogging features produced by the defogging branch in the input image. Furthermore, dual fusion attention residual feature attention (DARA) is proposed to enhance the extraction of flame-related features. The FFLAD dataset was developed given the scarcity of specifically tailored datasets for flame recognition in foggy environments. The experimental findings attest to the efficacy of our model, with a Mean Precision Accuracy (mPA) of 94.26%, a mean recall (mRecall) of 94.04%, and a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 89.51%. These results demonstrate improvements of 2.99%, 3.89%, and 5.22% respectively. The findings reveal that the suggested model exhibits exceptional accuracy in foggy conditions, surpassing other existing models across all evaluation metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
