Abstract

It is one of the ironclad rules of risk management that we take multiple countermeasures for reducing human casualties in dwellings attacked by hazardous earthquakes. Add to the diagnostic system enable to assist a safety arrangement of furniture, which is classified into the pre-earthquake countermeasures, we propose a seismic alert system recognizing automatically the indoor risky space with computer vision as an application of the earthquake early warning. This system has the function capable of automatically recognizing the dangerous floor plan out of indoor spaces by applying the one-point perspective projection and safely guiding by artificial voice the inhabitants stayed in the dangerous spaces in an emergency case of getting the earthquake early warning information.
