Early detection and effective extinguishing of fires are important factors in ensuring safety in closed environments. In this article, algorithms for an intelligent system based on camera systems are developed to detect the initial stage of a fire and automatically extinguish it with minimal water consumption. The proposed system, based on computer vision technologies operating in real time, detects the source of the fire and estimates its spatial location. The determined coordinates are converted into the rotation angles of the sprinkler manipulator through geometric modeling, and a servo mechanism with two degrees of freedom is used to accurately direct water spraying to the fire source. To ensure stable operation of the system, the software is organized on the basis of a multi-process architecture, and the fire detection, control and user interface modules operate independently. Experimental tests show that the proposed approach has high efficiency in early fire detection, rapid response and reduction of water consumption.
