Leakage with smoke is often accompanied by fire and explosion hazards. Detecting smoke helps gain time for crisis management. This study aims to address this issue by establishing a video smoke detection system, based on a convolutional neural network (CNN), with the help of smoke synthesis, auto-annotation, and an attention mechanism by fusing gray histogram image information. Additionally, the study incorporates the domain adversarial training of neural networks (DANN) to investigate the effect of domain shifts when adapting the smoke detection model from one injection molding machine to another on-site. It achieves the function of domain confusion without requiring labeling, as well as the automatic extraction of domain features and automatic adversarial training, using target domain data. Compared to deep domain confusion (DDC), naïve DANN, and the domain separation network (DSN), the proposed method achieves the highest accuracy rates of 93.17% and 91.35% in both scenarios. Furthermore, the experiment employs t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to facilitate fast training and smoke detection between machines by leveraging domain adaption features.
