A Deep Learning-Based CCTV System for Automatic Smoking Detection in Fire Exit Zones

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2508.11696v3 Announce Type: replace-cross A deep learning real-time smoking detection system for CCTV surveillance of fire exit areas is proposed due to critical safety requirements. The dataset contains 8,124 images from 20 different scenarios along with 2,708 raw samples nstrating low-light areas. We evaluated three advanced object detection models: YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and YOLOv12, followed by development of a custom model derived from YOLOv8 with added structures for challenging surveillance contexts.
