In order to detect fire automatically, a forest fire image recognition method based on convolutional neural networks is proposed in this paper. There are two main types of fire recognition algorithms. One is based on traditional image processing technology and the other is based on convolutional neural network technology. The former is easy to lead in false detection because of blindness and randomness in the stage of feature selection, while for the latter the unprocessed convolutional neural network is applied directly, so that the characteristics learned by the network are not accurate enough, and recognition rate may be affected. In view of these problems, conventional image processing techniques and convolutional neural networks are combined, and an adaptive pooling approach is introduced. The fire flame area can be segmented and the characteristics can be learned by this algorithm ahead. At the same time, the blindness in the traditional feature extraction process is avoided, and the learning of invalid features in the convolutional neural network is also avoided. Experiments show that the convolutional neural network method based on adaptive pooling method has better performance and has higher recognition rate.
