Abstract

This paper present a smoke alarm system built using Yolov8, a state-of-the-art object detection model. The system is designed to detect smoke in real-time environments and alert users in the event of a fire or smoke detection. The use of Yolov8 in this system offers several advantages over other object detection models, making it a suitable choice for building an effective smoke alarm system. One of the critical advantages of Yolov8 is its high accuracy in detecting objects with a small size, such as smoke. This is achieved through its efficient and robust architecture, which allows it to process images quickly and accurately. In comparison to other object detection models, Yolov8 demonstrates superior performance in terms of speed and accuracy. Furthermore, Yolov8’s ability to detect objects with high precision and low false positives is crucial for a smoke alarm system. This is because smoke detection needs high accuracy to prevent false alarms and promptly detect real threats. The smoke alarm system built using Yolov8 can be implemented in various environments, including homes, offices, and public buildings. It can provide early warnings for fires and smoke, enabling timely evacuation and reducing potential injuries or damages. The implementation of this system can greatly contribute to improving safety in various environments by providing early warnings of fires and smoke.
