FireWatch-Java

FireWatch-Java is a cross-language real-time fire detection system combining a Java-based desktop application with a PyTorch-based backend service.

Architecture

• java-client/: A Java Swing GUI that streams video, performs detection via REST API, and sends alerts
• model-server/: A Python Flask service that loads a YOLOv8 model to detect fire in images

Features

• Real-time fire detection using PyTorch
• Java GUI video streaming with email alerts
• Dockerized backend with REST API

Setup Instructions

1. Train or download a YOLOv8 fire detection model (model.pt)
2. Run the model server:

   cd model-server
   docker build -t firewatch-server .
   docker run -p 5000:5000 firewatch-server

3. Run the Java client:

   cd java-client/src
   javac FireWatchClient.java
   java FireWatchClient
