Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring and emergency treatment, and in particular to a smoke monitoring and alarm device and method. Background Art

[0002] Current indoor fire prevention and control methods typically use a combination of smoke sensors and sprinklers. This approach has two drawbacks. First, the smoke concentration generated by a fire is dependent on the nature of the burning material and the indoor oxygen concentration. Fires involving certain substances or with higher oxygen concentrations produce less smoke, which doesn't trigger the smoke sensor and prevents the fire from being extinguished in a timely manner. Second, due to insufficient accuracy in detecting the fire point, the existing technology requires sprinklers to spray water across the entire area after the sensor is triggered. This often causes damage in situations where water protection is required. These losses could be avoided if more accurate fire point detection and refined fire extinguishing could be achieved.

[0018] According to the technical solution of the present invention, one embodiment of the above invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0019] On the basis of the traditional smoke concentration sensor, multiple image monitoring discriminators at different positions are added. The image monitoring discriminator consists of an image acquisition unit and a fire discrimination unit. The former is used to acquire images, and the latter is used to extract features from the image and perform pixel-level precision differential judgment on the normal image of the same area without fire and the current image. Finally, a suspicious area composed of suspicious pixels and a three-dimensional risk area formed by fusing the suspicious areas of each monitoring position and monitoring angle are obtained. When the spatial volume of the risk area is greater than the threshold or the smoke concentration sensor detects a high smoke concentration, the central controller immediately alarms the user terminal. The image monitoring discriminator thus makes up for the shortcomings of the smoke concentration sensor. When there is less smoke, the image monitoring discriminator can detect flames or objects deformed by fire earlier based on pixel-level image differential comparison, thereby solving the problem of fire detection when there is less smoke. Furthermore, the present invention achieves accurate detection of the fire point and refined fire extinguishing operations in the following ways. After a fire is detected by an image monitoring discriminator or a smoke density sensor, the coordinates of the monitoring center points of each smoke density sensor are weightedly clustered with the smoke density as the weight to obtain the cluster center point at the current moment. The cluster center point is the most likely fire point detected by the smoke density sensor, and the risk area obtained from the image monitoring discriminator is the most likely fire point distribution area detected by the image monitoring discriminator. The confidence of the above risk areas obtained based on the high-performance machine learning model and pixel-level accuracy is high. At this time, the central controller determines the positional relationship between the cluster center point and the risk area: when the cluster If the cluster center is within the risk area, it means the fire is not dispersed and is likely in its infancy. In this case, precise firefighting can be carried out within a certain range outside the risk area. If the cluster center is outside the risk area but not far away, it means the fire is spreading but can still be controlled. In this case, a spherical area is first generated with the cluster center as the center. The spherical area is then connected to the risk area to form an extended area. The extended area is then expanded to a large extent before firefighting is carried out. If the cluster center is outside the risk area and is far away, it means the fire has developed to a certain extent and there is an uncontrollable risk. In this case, firefighting can be carried out directly in the entire target space. This way, the spray area of ​​the fire extinguishing medium can be minimized while ensuring timely and effective firefighting, thus avoiding property losses caused by the large-scale and full-coverage spraying of the fire extinguishing medium.

[0020] The further effects of the above-mentioned non-conventional optional manner will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0026] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the composition of a smoke monitoring alarm device according to an embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 1 .

[0027] The smoke monitoring alarm device of an embodiment of the present invention includes: multiple smoke concentration sensors installed at different positions in the target space, multiple image monitoring discriminators installed at different positions in the target space, a data fusion device electrically connected to the multiple image monitoring discriminators, a central controller electrically connected to the smoke concentration sensors and the data fusion device, and a fire extinguishing actuator controlled by the central controller.

[0028] Specifically, the smoke concentration sensors are used to collect smoke in a corresponding area and generate raw smoke concentration data. Each smoke concentration sensor can be connected to an independent front-end controller, which is electrically connected to the central controller. The front-end controller receives the raw smoke concentration data from the connected smoke concentration sensor, converts the raw smoke concentration data into smoke concentration data, and transmits the smoke concentration data to the central controller.

[0029] In particular, each front-end controller sends an alarm signal based on the smoke concentration sensor to the central controller when it determines that the received raw smoke concentration data exceeds a preset concentration threshold, so as to warn the user in time.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, each image monitoring discriminator includes an image acquisition unit and a fire discrimination unit. The image acquisition unit can be a known camera or other device. The fire discrimination unit includes an image processing layer and a pixel resolution model based on a machine learning algorithm. In order to achieve high-precision pixel-level image discrimination, it is necessary to make the pixel resolution model of the distributed actual scene have the computing power of a heavyweight machine learning model (heavyweight can be defined by model parameters, for example, a model with a parameter value greater than 1 million. Similarly, a lightweight model can also be defined by model parameters, for example, a model with a parameter value less than 10,000). To achieve this goal, the existing technology can only have two solutions: remotely accessing the interface of the cloud server or deploying the heavyweight model on site. However, the former will greatly affect the real-time performance of fire handling, and the latter requires the use of ultra-high-performance CPU, GPU and other hardware on site, which is very unrealistic.

[0031] To address the above issues, the present invention first trains a heavyweight model in the background. The model structure can adopt BERT, CNN, etc., and then constructs a lightweight network based on low-layer DNN, RNN, etc. as a pixel resolution model on site. The pixel resolution model can be formed by jointly training the heavyweight model and the training set in a knowledge distillation manner. In this way, the pixel resolution model is more suitable for deployment on site based on the performance of heavyweight models such as BERT, with low cost, easy maintenance, and no need for high-performance hardware support. In practical applications, the number of parameters of the pixel resolution model can be less than one percent of the number of parameters of the heavyweight model.

[0032] After acquiring the current image captured by the image acquisition unit, the image processing layer subtracts the current image from a pre-stored normal image pointing to the same area to obtain a differential image. Subsequently, the image processing layer traverses the pixels of the differential image with a convolution kernel of a fixed size (e.g., 3*3 or 5*5), flattens the pixel values ​​within the convolution kernel's range in a preset order to form a connectivity feature for each pixel, and inputs the connectivity feature into the pixel resolution model. The pixel resolution model calculates the input connectivity feature and outputs the recognition result for each pixel (including whether it is the same pixel or a different pixel) as well as each suspicious pixel determined based on the above recognition result. All suspicious pixels are then merged into the current suspicious area data, which is transmitted to the data fusion unit.

[0033] The data fusion unit, which can be built using FPGA hardware or conventional software, fuses the suspicious area data output by each image surveillance discriminator into current risk area data (this data is three-dimensional spatial coordinate data) based on the installation location and shooting angle of each image surveillance discriminator. It then sends an alarm signal to the central controller when the risk area data meets preset image alarm conditions. These image alarm conditions can include: the spatial volume of the risk area exceeds a preset volume threshold, or the spatial shape of the risk area matches a preset target shape (such as a flame shape or the initial shape of an object in the corresponding surveillance area).

[0034] Upon receiving an alarm signal from the data fusion unit or an alarm signal based on the smoke concentration sensor, the central controller immediately sends a fire alarm message to the user terminal. Through the above solution, multiple image monitoring discriminators at different locations are added to the traditional smoke concentration sensor. The image acquisition unit in the image monitoring discriminator is used to acquire images, and the fire discrimination unit in the image monitoring discriminator is used to extract features from the image and perform pixel-level precision differential judgment between a normal image of the same area without a fire and the current image. Ultimately, a suspicious area composed of suspicious pixels and a three-dimensional risk area are obtained by fusing the suspicious areas of each monitoring position and monitoring angle. When the spatial volume of the risk area exceeds a threshold or the smoke concentration sensor detects a high smoke concentration, the central controller immediately sends an alarm to the user terminal. This compensates for the shortcomings of the smoke concentration sensor through the image monitoring discriminator. When there is less smoke, the image monitoring discriminator can detect flames or objects deformed by fire earlier based on pixel-level image differential comparison, thereby solving the problem of fire detection when there is less smoke.

[0035] On the other hand, the central controller obtains the risk area data sent by the data fusion unit and the smoke concentration data sent by the front-end controller, and performs weighted clustering on the coordinates of the monitoring center points of each smoke concentration sensor using the corresponding smoke concentration as the weight to obtain the cluster center point at the current moment. The above clustering method can adopt the DBSCAN clustering algorithm. It can be understood that the cluster center point is the most likely fire point detected by the smoke concentration sensor, and the risk area obtained from the image monitoring discriminator is the most likely fire point distribution area detected by the image monitoring discriminator. The confidence level of the above risk areas is high based on the high-performance machine learning model and pixel-level precision judgment. At this point, the central controller can control the fire extinguishing actuator to perform the corresponding fire extinguishing action based on the positional relationship between the cluster center point and the risk area at the current moment.

[0036] In actual scenarios, if the central controller determines that the cluster center at the current moment is within the risk area, it means that the fire is not dispersed and is most likely in the embryonic stage. At this time, it is sufficient to precisely execute fire extinguishing within a certain range outside the risk area. Therefore, the central controller expands the risk area into a target area according to the first coefficient, and controls the fire extinguishing actuator to spray the fire extinguishing medium at the target area. Among them, the first coefficient is the expansion ratio, which is a number greater than 1. The above expansion can take the cluster center as the starting point, and expand outward with the line connecting the cluster center and the boundary point in any direction of the risk area. After the expansion, the ratio of the length of the boundary point in this direction from the cluster center to the original connection length is the first value. In addition, the fire extinguishing actuator can be a sprinkler head, a water pump, etc.

[0037] If the central controller determines that the cluster center at the current moment is outside the risk area and the minimum distance between the cluster center and the risk area is less than the distance threshold, it means that the fire has begun to spread but is still controllable. At this time, the central controller first generates a spherical area with the cluster center as the center according to the radius of the specified length. Then, the spherical area is connected to the risk area at the current moment to form an extended area, and the extended area is expanded into a fire extinguishing area according to the second coefficient. Finally, the fire extinguishing actuator is controlled to spray the fire extinguishing medium at the fire extinguishing area. Among them, the above connection refers to opening up the space between the spherical area and the risk area. The connection method can be executed according to the preset strategy. The above second coefficient is also the expansion ratio, which is greater than the first coefficient. The expansion method of the above extended area is the same as above.

[0038] If the central controller determines that the current cluster center is outside the risk area and the minimum distance between the cluster center and the risk area is at least a threshold, indicating that the fire has progressed to a certain extent and poses an uncontrollable risk, the central controller directly controls the fire extinguishing actuator to spray the fire extinguishing medium across the entire target area. This process minimizes the spray area while ensuring timely and effective fire extinguishing, thus preventing property damage caused by widespread, full-coverage spraying of the fire extinguishing medium.

[0039] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the steps of the smoke monitoring and alarm method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The execution entities of each step are the front-end controller, the image monitoring discriminator, the data fusion device and the central controller. Figure 2 .

[0040] Step S201: Receive raw smoke concentration data collected by multiple smoke concentration sensors installed at different locations in the target space, and current images collected by multiple image acquisition units installed at different locations in the target space. Step S202: Subtract the current image from a normal image pre-stored locally and pointing to the same area to obtain a differential image; traverse the pixels of the differential image with a fixed-size convolution kernel, flatten the pixel values ​​within the range defined by the convolution kernel to form a connectivity feature for each pixel, and input the connectivity feature into the pixel resolution model. Step S203: Obtain the recognition result of each pixel point calculated by the pixel resolution model on the connectivity feature and output, as well as each suspicious pixel point determined based on the recognition result, merge all suspicious pixels into the suspicious area data at the current moment, and fuse the suspicious area data into the risk area data at the current moment based on the installation position and shooting angle of each image acquisition unit. Step S204: When it is determined that the raw smoke concentration data exceeds a preset concentration threshold or the risk area data meets the preset image alarm condition, a fire alarm message is sent to the user terminal; and the raw smoke concentration data is converted into smoke concentration data, and the monitoring center point coordinates of each smoke concentration sensor are weighted clustered with the corresponding smoke concentration as the weight to obtain the cluster center point at the current moment, and the corresponding fire extinguishing action is performed according to the positional relationship between the cluster center point at the current moment and the risk area.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding fire extinguishing action is performed according to the positional relationship between the cluster center point and the risk area at the current moment, including: if it is determined that the cluster center point at the current moment is within the risk area, the risk area is expanded into a target area according to a first coefficient, and a preset fire extinguishing actuator is controlled to spray a fire extinguishing medium at the target area; if it is determined that the cluster center point at the current moment is outside the risk area and the minimum distance between the cluster center point and the risk area is less than a distance threshold, a spherical area with the cluster center point as the center is generated according to a radius of a specified length, the spherical area is connected to the risk area at the current moment as an extended area, the extended area is expanded into a fire extinguishing area according to a second coefficient, and the fire extinguishing actuator is controlled to spray a fire extinguishing medium at the fire extinguishing area; wherein the second coefficient is greater than the first coefficient; if it is determined that the cluster center point at the current moment is outside the risk area and the minimum distance between the cluster center point and the risk area is not less than the distance threshold, the fire extinguishing actuator is controlled to spray a fire extinguishing medium to fully cover the target space.

[0042] In a specific application, the pixel resolution model is a lightweight model trained by knowledge distillation based on a pre-trained heavyweight model based on a machine learning algorithm. The number of parameters of the pixel resolution model is less than one percent of the number of parameters of the heavyweight model; the image alarm conditions include: the spatial volume of the risk area exceeds a preset volume threshold, or the spatial shape of the risk area is a preset target shape.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present invention, multiple image monitoring discriminators at different positions are added on the basis of the traditional smoke concentration sensor. The image monitoring discriminator consists of an image acquisition unit and a fire discrimination unit. The former is used to acquire images, and the latter is used to extract features from the image and perform pixel-level precision differential judgment on the normal image of the same area without fire and the current image. Finally, a suspicious area composed of suspicious pixels and a three-dimensional risk area formed by fusing the suspicious areas of each monitoring position and monitoring angle are obtained. When the spatial volume of the risk area is greater than the threshold or the smoke concentration sensor detects a high smoke concentration, the central controller immediately alarms the user terminal. The image monitoring discriminator thus makes up for the shortcomings of the smoke concentration sensor. When there is less smoke, the image monitoring discriminator can detect flames or objects deformed by fire earlier based on pixel-level image differential comparison, thereby solving the problem of fire detection when there is less smoke. Furthermore, the present invention achieves accurate detection of the fire point and refined fire extinguishing operations in the following ways. After a fire is detected by an image monitoring discriminator or a smoke density sensor, the coordinates of the monitoring center points of each smoke density sensor are weightedly clustered with the smoke density as the weight to obtain the cluster center point at the current moment. The cluster center point is the most likely fire point detected by the smoke density sensor, and the risk area obtained from the image monitoring discriminator is the most likely fire point distribution area detected by the image monitoring discriminator. The confidence of the above risk areas obtained based on the high-performance machine learning model and pixel-level accuracy is high. At this time, the central controller determines the positional relationship between the cluster center point and the risk area: when the cluster If the cluster center is within the risk area, it means the fire is not dispersed and is likely in its infancy. In this case, precise firefighting can be carried out within a certain range outside the risk area. If the cluster center is outside the risk area but not far away, it means the fire is spreading but can still be controlled. In this case, a spherical area is first generated with the cluster center as the center. The spherical area is then connected to the risk area to form an extended area. The extended area is then expanded to a large extent before firefighting is carried out. If the cluster center is outside the risk area and is far away, it means the fire has developed to a certain extent and there is an uncontrollable risk. In this case, firefighting can be carried out directly in the entire target space. This way, the spray area of ​​the fire extinguishing medium can be minimized while ensuring timely and effective firefighting, thus avoiding property losses caused by the large-scale and full-coverage spraying of the fire extinguishing medium.
