Abstract
Early alert fire and smoke detection systems are crucial for daily and security management decision-making. Recent literature approaches are based on Deep Learning (DL) models. Efficient models are required for hardware-constrained systems, such as mobile devices, embedded systems, and robotics achieving high performance at low power consumption. For this research, we designed a novel specific-purpose model for fire and smoke recognition using still images and the study of state-of-the-art convolution techniques to improve the trade-off between accuracy and complexity. In this regard, the literature suggests that the inverted residual block, the depthwise and octave convolution techniques, reduces the model’s size and computation requirements working well by themselves. In this work, we propose the KutralNext architecture, an efficient model for single- and multi-label fire and smoke recognition tasks. Additionally, a more efficient architecture KutralNext+, demonstrates that those convolution techniques achieve a better trade-off combined, reaching an 84.36% average test accuracy in FireNet, FiSmo, and FiSmoA fire datasets. The KutralSmoke and FiSmo fire and smoke datasets attained an 81.53% average test accuracy. Furthermore, a previous fire and smoke recognition model considered, FireDetection, KutralNext uses 59% fewer parameters, and KutralNext+ requires 97% fewer flops and is 4x faster.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
