Fire detection in videos taken by static surveillance cameras

The project aims to detect fires in videos taken by static surveillance cameras. The project includes the design and implementation of a deep learning model for fire detection. Adopted both a binary classification approach (fire/no fire) and a multi-label approach (considering fire, no fire and smoke).

Parallelization of Tarjan and Kosaraju's algorithms for the search of the strongly connected components in a graph

The project aims to parallelize Tarjan and Kosaraju's algorithms for the search of the strongly connected components in a graph. The computation of the SCC was made with different processes, each of them having a piece of the original graph, results were then merged by means of message passing and this was iterated until a single process with the comprehensive result was left.

• Parallelization
• Graph Theory
• Message Passing
