FireViewer D-FINE-M strict v1

Two-class research detector for visible smoke and visible flame.

Status

Primary FireViewer research candidate, not production-qualified. The current frozen independent benchmark reports COCO mAP50-95 0.3924 and calibrated holdout F1 0.6475. Human review remains mandatory.

The repository revision referenced in the current commercial evaluation is 0ef733968748c7ac172273db8c381ea5ea5ff046. The supplied ONNX artifact has SHA-256 d4ad38e8c09756b975b177faa8440dc1ed9f52df10828c9981484e9d1e1db2ee.

Classes

• smoke_visible
• flame_visible

Intended use

Research, reproducible evaluation, internal commercial evaluation and non-redistributed commercial inference under the repository terms. It can be tested as a specialized first-stage detector in image/video workflows.

Not established

This release does not establish suitability as a standalone alarm system, emergency decision system, geolocation engine or fire-propagation predictor. False positives and false negatives remain possible, including domain shift from CCTV, night scenes, haze, clouds, dust, reflections and other visually similar phenomena.

Evaluation

Independent model comparisons must use the same frozen FireViewer protocol. Do not compare internal validation metrics to independent holdout scores as if they were equivalent.

Rights

Read CHECKPOINT_LICENSE.md, COMMERCIAL_USE.md, RIGHTS_AND_ATTRIBUTION.md and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md before commercial use or conversion.

Hub artifact SHA-256 for model.onnx: d4ad38e8c09756b975b177faa8440dc1ed9f52df10828c9981484e9d1e1db2ee. This identity was read from Hub metadata; the weights were not downloaded or rehashed during the documentation review.

The example downloads a pinned artifact; it does not execute or qualify inference. Preserve the matching configuration, labels, preprocessing and runtime dependencies from that revision. Keep raw outputs, scores, model revision and source provenance when integrating with fireviewer-vision-runtime.

Training corpus: fireviewer/fire-smoke-detection-corpus-v1 at 8e3cb52e86e15debdff7d37a3ce9eac39fbe1835 (see run receipt and source manifest). Base recipe and implementation are recorded with the training artifacts; a family name alone is not an immutable upstream revision.

The included inference helper consumes an RGB image and returns class ID/name, confidence and xyxy image boxes; its documented image size is 704. --confidence 0.25 is the helper default, not a calibrated deployment threshold.

Independent evaluation protocol and limits

Published independent report: 512 images from Hajorda/flameye-wildfire-detection, test, revision 361a3dea8b877482af9f4ed80eff77ffd39926ef. The retained common protocol uses 129 calibration images and 383 holdout images; its selection is dominated by D-Fire (508/512). Zero exact training overlap is a reported hash-based check, not proof of no semantic or domain overlap.

Evaluated model revision: 3bbab94012311d4f4bba68dc883117dec1281a24. The report-calibrated score threshold is 0.5; it is specific to this protocol and is not an operational threshold. COCO AP over the 512-image selection and F1 on the calibrated holdout are different measurements. Do not compare them with RF-DETR training-validation scores or DINOv3 pointing metrics.

The report does not contain an explicit execution timestamp. Its original revision is the evidence reference; 19 September is the card review date, not a new evaluation date. Multi-event and multi-camera external validation remains necessary.

Sensitive results require human validation. No image detection establishes geographic coordinates, a measured perimeter, absence of fire or future propagation.

Documentation, revision and stewardship

Documentation reviewed on 19 September 2026, using the FireViewer documentation pack and the repository at 1d8e0d5eba6a83ea85c0b4318a3c95eca88a3e34. This is a documentation and metadata check, not a new model evaluation, training run, data acquisition or full artifact verification. Historical receipts keep their original dates and identifiers; manifest hashes of earlier README versions describe those earlier releases.

The association FIRE-VIEWER provides administrative and financial stewardship for resources under its control. Technical governance is maintainer-led. Pre-association rights, UWD components, upstream licences and source-specific rights remain separate; repository placement does not transfer ownership or grant new rights.
