Usage
Installation
pip install ultralytics
Inference
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load model
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt")
# Run inference
results = model.predict("image.jpg", conf=0.25)
# Process results
for result in results:
boxes = result.boxes
for box in boxes:
cls = int(box.cls[0])
conf = float(box.conf[0])
label = model.names[cls]
print(f"Detected: {label} ({conf:.2f})")
Video Inference
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt")
results = model.predict("video.mp4", save=True, conf=0.25)
Webcam (Real-time)
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt")
results = model.predict(source=0, show=True, conf=0.25)

Use Cases
- Building fire safety monitoring
- Wildfire early detection systems
- Industrial safety surveillance
- Smart home fire detection
- Drone-based fire monitoring
Limitations
- May have reduced accuracy in low-light conditions
- Smoke detection can be affected by fog/steam
- Best performance on images similar to training data
