Abstract In order for detection of a fire in fields, it is effective to detect smoke since it often behaves as a precursor of the fire. One preferable way for early detection is to use visual information from outdoor cameras that widely monitor the filed. There have been many attempts to detect smokes via optical sensors on digital cameras using optical flow methods, but not fully successful from practical-use
