ABSTRACT:
A multi-criteria fire detection system, comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is capable of detecting a signature characteristic of a presence of a fire and providing an output indicating the same. A processor for receiving each output of the plurality of sensors is also employed. The processor includes a probabilistic neural network for processing the sensor outputs. The probabilistic neural network comprises a nonlinear, nor-parametric pattern recognition algorithm that operates by defining a probability density function for a plurality of data sets that are each based on a training set data and an optimized kernel width parameter. The plurality of data sets includes a baseline, non-fire, fist data set; a second, fire data set, and a third, nuisance data set. The algorithm provides a decisional output indicative of the presence of a fire based on recognizing and discrimination between said data sets, and whether the outputs suffice to substantially indicate the presence of a fire, as opposed to a non-fire or nuisance situation.
