A Resemblance Based Approach for Recognition of Risks at a Fire Ground

This article focuses on a problem of a comparison between fire &amp; rescue actions for a decision support at the fire ground. In our research, we split the actions into a set of frames which compose a timeline of a firefighting process. In our approach, the frames are represented as compound objects. We extract a set of features in order to represent these objects and we apply a comparator framework for the evaluation of similarities between the processes. The similarity constrains allow us to recognize the risks that appear during the actions. We justify our approach by showing results of a series of experiments which are based on reports describing real-life incidents.</p
