📝 摘要(中文)
火灾的发生对人类生命和基础设施构成严重威胁,因此需要高保真度的早期预警系统来检测烟雾等燃烧前兆。然而,烟雾羽流的复杂时空动态受到光照变化、流动动力学和环境噪声的影响,削弱了传统探测器的可靠性。为了解决这些挑战,本文提出了一种信息融合框架,通过单目图像提取的烟雾特征表示进行集成。具体而言,提出了一种双相不确定性感知的移动窗口变换器,以实现稳健和可靠的烟雾检测,利用通过光流运动编码构建的新型烟雾分割数据集。光流估计采用四色定理启发的双相水平集分数阶变分模型,保留运动不连续性。生成的颜色编码光流图与外观线索通过高斯混合模型融合,生成烟雾区域的二进制分割掩膜。这些融合表示被输入到新型的移动窗口变换器中,该变换器增强了多尺度不确定性估计头,并在双相学习机制下进行训练。大量实验表明,该方法在多个评估指标上表现优越,提供了可靠的早期火灾检测解决方案。

📄 摘要(原文)
Fire outbreaks pose critical threats to human life and infrastructure, necessitating high-fidelity early-warning systems that detect combustion precursors such as smoke. However, smoke plumes exhibit complex spatiotemporal dynamics influenced by illumination variability, flow kinematics, and environmental noise, undermining the reliability of traditional detectors. To address these challenges without the logistical complexity of multi-sensor arrays, we propose an information-fusion framework by integrating smoke feature representations extracted from monocular imagery. Specifically, a Two-Phase Uncertainty-Aware Shifted Windows Transformer for robust and reliable smoke detection, leveraging a novel smoke segmentation dataset, constructed via optical flow-based motion encoding, is proposed. The optical flow estimation is performed with a four-color-theorem-inspired dual-phase level-set fractional-order variational model, which preserves motion discontinuities. The resulting color-encoded optical flow maps are fused with appearance cues via a Gaussian Mixture Model to generate binary segmentation masks of the smoke regions. These fused representations are fed into the novel Shifted-Windows Transformer, which is augmented with a multi-scale uncertainty estimation head and trained under a two-phase learning regimen. First learning phase optimizes smoke detection accuracy, while during the second phase, the model learns to estimate plausibility confidence in its predictions by jointly modeling aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties. Extensive experiments using multiple evaluation metrics and comparative analysis with state-of-the-art approaches demonstrate superior generalization and robustness, offering a reliable solution for early fire detection in surveillance, industrial safety, and autonomous monitoring applications.
