Apparatus for fire detection and method thereof

A method performed by an apparatus of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining, via a camera mounted on the vehicle, one or more images of an environment of the vehicle;
• detecting, based on at least one of an object detection model or a feature point extraction algorithm, an object in the one or more images;
• determining, based on an object classification type of the object, presence of a fire event;
• and
• causing, based on the determined presence of the fire event, the vehicle to perform one or more remedial actions.

A vehicle comprising:

• a camera;
• a temperature sensor;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing at least one instruction that is configured, when executed by the processor communicating with the memory, to cause the vehicle to:
• obtain, via the camera, one or more images of an environment of the vehicle;
• detect, based on at least one of an object detection model or a feature point extraction algorithm, an object in the one or more images;
• determine, based on a measured temperature of the temperature sensor and based on an object classification type of the object, presence of a fire event;
• and
• cause, based on the determined presence of the fire event, the vehicle to perform an autonomous driving operation of the vehicle.
