Dual-GRU Perception Accumulation Model for Linear Beam Smoke Detector

Due to the complex structure of high-rise space buildings, traditional point fire detectors are not effective in terms of detection range and installation difficulty. Although linear beam smoke detectors are widely adopted, they still face problems such as low accuracy and false alarms caused by interference. To address these limitations, we constructed a 120 m experimental platform for analyzing smoke–light interactions. Through systematic investigation of spectral scattering phenomena, optimal operational wavelengths were identified for beam-type detection. By improving the gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network, an algorithm combining dual-wavelength information fusion and an attention mechanism was designed. The algorithm integrates dual-wavelength information and introduces the cross-attention mechanism into the GRU network to achieve collaborative modeling of microscale scattering characteristics and macroscale concentration changes of smoke particles. The alarm strategy based on time series accumulation effectively reduces false alarms caused by instantaneous interference. The experiment shows that our method is significantly better than traditional algorithms in terms of accuracy (96.8%), false positive rate (2.1%), and response time (6.7 s).
