Abstract
As fire accidents usually cause economic and environmental damage, including the loss of human lives, video-based fire detection has become more appealing in surveillance systems. However, video based fire detection algorithms demand tremendous computational and I/O requirements. To meet these requirements, we introduce an SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) based multi-core architecture that consists of 16 processing elements (PEs) and small local memory. In addition, we compare the performance and efficiency of the multi-core architecture with a commercial Texas Instrument digital signal processor (TI DSP) to demonstrate the potential for improved performance of the multi-core architecture. Experimental results indicate that the multi-core architecture is 27.18 times and 3.89 times better than TI DSP in terms of execution time and energy efficiency, respectively.
