[0051] In order to make the skilled in the art more clear and definite the technical solutions of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0052] The fire warning method in the coal conveying gallery provided by the present embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0053] 1) A cognitive agent is installed on the top of the coal conveying gallery, and the included angle between the collection direction of the collection end of the cognitive agent and the top of the coal conveying gallery is 30°, so as to improve the accuracy of fire source detection to a certain extent, even in the case that the fire source is blocked by the coal conveying equipment or coal;

[0054] 2) The cognitive agent continuously collects infrared thermal imaging videos and image videos, which are stored and used for subsequent model calculations;

[0055] 3) The infrared thermal imaging videos are structured and converted into matrix-arranged data to form infrared matrix data. The infrared matrix is a two-dimensional array containing the temperature values of each grid point, and each grid point corresponds to a region in the actual environment;

[0056] The specific steps for constructing the infrared matrix data are as follows:

[0057] The infrared thermal imaging videos are decomposed into independent thermal image frames to obtain multiple consecutive thermal images. In this process, each thermal image frame can be regarded as an independent static image, and each image contains a large number of pixel points;

[0058] Each thermal image frame is divided into a grid structure, which is a 9x9 grid, i.e., each thermal image frame is converted into 81 independent regions, and each grid maps to a region in the corresponding image. After segmentation, each thermal image frame is converted into a set of grids. This step is mainly to reduce the complexity of the data for subsequent processing;

[0059] The pixel values of each grid of the thermal image are obtained, and these values are converted to temperatures to obtain the temperature values corresponding to each grid. The mapping relationship between pixel values and temperature can be obtained in advance by calibrating the pixel values and the corresponding temperature values. In this step, since each grid contains multiple pixels, the values of these pixels need to be processed, such as taking the average, and then mapping the average temperature value to obtain the temperature value of the grid;

[0060] According to the temperature values of each grid, a two-dimensional array is constructed, which is the infrared matrix. In this matrix, each position (element) corresponds to a grid in the original thermal image, and the value of the element is the temperature of the grid. In this way, through the matrix, the temperature distribution of the original thermal image can be clearly seen;

[0061] 4) From the infrared matrix data, the highest temperature and the lowest temperature of the interference items in the coal conveying gallery, such as belts, bearings, water vapor, and coal heat, are excluded to avoid misleading in subsequent processing; max and the lowest T min

[0062] 5) From the infrared matrix data, the grid point with the highest temperature is found, and its real-time performance in the corresponding region of the infrared thermal imaging video is compared. The temperature rising speed and the maximum temperature of the grid point with the highest temperature within a predetermined time are recorded;

[0063] ​Finding the cell with the highest temperature in the matrix constructed from the infrared thermal imaging data can determine the area with the highest temperature in the actual environment;

[0064] Comparing the cell with the highest temperature found with the real-time performance of the same area in the infrared thermal imaging video, where the infrared thermal imaging video can provide dynamic information about temperature changes, while the infrared matrix data provides static temperature information. By comparing the two, more comprehensive information about temperature changes can be obtained;

[0065] Based on the comparison results, record the temperature rising speed and the maximum temperature of the cell with the highest temperature within a preset time. These two parameters are important indicators for evaluating fire risk. The temperature rising speed reflects the trend of temperature change. If the rising speed is too fast, it may indicate the occurrence of fire. The maximum temperature directly reflects the heat of the current environment;

[0066] 6) Continuously monitor the cell with the highest temperature in the infrared matrix and its neighborhood, and compare the corresponding area in the infrared thermal imaging video. Record the temperature rising of the surrounding cells of the cell with the highest temperature and weight the surrounding temperature. For example, in a 3x3 grid, position 5 has the highest temperature, positions 1-3 have low rising speed and low weight, and positions 7-9 have high rising speed and high weight. This facilitates the prediction of the rising direction of the flame;

[0067] In this step, the main target of comparing the cell in the infrared thermal imaging video is to observe and record the temperature changes of the surrounding cells of the cell with the highest temperature. This is because the fire source usually spreads to the surrounding, causing the temperature to rise;

[0068] The process of comparing the corresponding area in the infrared thermal imaging video not only obtains dynamic information (the temperature rising speed and pattern of the surrounding cells of the cell with the highest temperature), but also clearly monitors the process and pattern of fire spread. In addition, by comparing the cell in the infrared thermal imaging video, the fire risk of the surrounding cells can be more accurately evaluated, which is helpful for weight division. For example, if the temperature rising speed of a cell is very fast, it needs to be given a higher weight, so as to judge the trend of fire spread direction;

[0069] 7) Find the cell with the highest temperature from the infrared matrix, compare the cell in the infrared thermal imaging video, and record the spread of the surrounding cells;

[0070] The cell with the highest temperature in the infrared matrix usually represents the location of the (future) fire source. Then, record the temperature changes of the surrounding cells of this cell with the highest temperature. This is because the fire source usually spreads to the surrounding, which is manifested as the gradual rise of the temperature of the surrounding cells;

[0071] The rising rate of the surrounding squares can be calculated by comparing the infrared thermal imaging video images frame by frame;

[0072] According to the records of the diffusion, the development of the fire can be more accurately predicted before the fire occurs, the fire warning can be given earlier, and the emergency response personnel can be provided with sufficient reaction time, so that the occurrence of the fire can be more effectively prevented, and the possible loss can be reduced;

[0073] 8) Smoke detection is performed through image video, and smoke distribution and diffusion are recorded;

[0074] The process mainly obtains the distribution of smoke in space and the change trend of the smoke over time through continuous analysis of video frames of image video;

[0075] The smoke distribution refers to the area covered by the smoke, the size of the area, and the position of the area in each image frame;

[0076] The smoke diffusion refers to the change of the smoke distribution over time, that is, the moving path of the smoke and the expansion or contraction of the covered area;

[0077] 9) For the recorded data, different models are used to analyze the respective data to determine the abnormal temperature in the coal conveying gallery, and different alarm signals are sent according to different levels of abnormalities and relevant data is uploaded if an abnormality is detected;

[0078] The different models include a coal temperature rising model, a coal belt temperature rising model, and other interference term models, which are used to determine whether the recorded data belongs to the temperature within the scope of the model, and if not, an abnormal temperature is obtained;

[0079] The relevant data includes positioning (gallery position of the monitoring device), location (monitoring picture area), abnormal temperature, and structured abnormal position (monitoring picture position) temperature matrix;

[0080] 10) When the alarm is manually processed, the processed record value is imported into the model, that is, into the model of the specified device (such as the coal belt temperature rising model), and the model is iteratively updated. Iteration is for relearning. For example, if the coal belt abnormal temperature is misjudged, the model is iterated, and the boundary value of the model is expanded. If it is really on fire, the model is iterated to improve the accuracy.

[0081] In this embodiment, there are 30 frames per second, and the first frame of the first second is compared with the first frame of the second second, the second frame of the first second is compared with the second frame of the second second, and so on, to calculate the temperature rising speed of the frame number interval of one second;

[0082] For the square with the highest temperature, the temperature rising speed in the preset time is calculated;

[0083] For the surrounding squares of the square with the highest temperature, calculate the temperature increase rate thereof within a preset time;

[0084] For the surrounding squares of the square with the highest temperature, calculate the diffusion speed thereof, the diffusion speed referring to the number of squares diffused per frame;

[0085] For the diffused squares, a weight grading can also be performed, with 90% of the highest temperature within a preset time being the highest weight, 70% being the medium weight, and 40% being the low weight. For example, if the highest temperature is 100 degrees, then 90-100 degrees is the highest weight (more than 90% of the highest temperature), and this area is the most dangerous area.

[0086] In the present embodiment, for step 9), the following is specifically performed:

[0087] 1) Collect the highest temperature of the square, the temperature increase rate of the square with the highest temperature, the diffusion of the surrounding of the square with the highest temperature, the temperature increase rate of the surrounding of the square with the highest temperature, the smoke coverage position, the smoke area, and the smoke increase rate data;

[0088] The temperature increase rate of the square with the highest temperature = (the highest temperature - the highest temperature at the previous time) / the time interval;

[0089] The temperature increase rate of the surrounding of the square with the highest temperature = (the average temperature of the surrounding of the square with the highest temperature - the average temperature of the surrounding of the square with the highest temperature at the previous time) / the time interval;

[0090] The smoke increase rate = (the current smoke area - the smoke area at the previous time) / the time interval;

[0091] If the highest temperature exceeds a first preset threshold value, a high-level warning level can be set, and the threshold value is 1.5 times the normal operating temperature of the coal conveying gallery;

[0092] If the temperature increase rate exceeds a second preset threshold value, a medium-level warning level can be set, and the threshold value is 3 times the normal temperature change speed;

[0093] If the smoke area exceeds a third preset threshold value, a medium-level or high-level warning level can be set, and the threshold value is 10% of the total area of the video frame;

[0094] If the smoke increase rate exceeds a fourth preset threshold value, a medium-level or high-level warning level can be set, and the threshold value is 3 times the normal smoke area change speed.

[0095] In the present embodiment, the length of the coal conveying gallery is 60 meters, and the width is 10 meters, and each square point corresponds to an area in the actual environment, specifically as follows:

[0096] Step 3.1 determines the space ratio:

[0097] The resolution of the infrared thermal imaging camera is determined to be 1920x1080 pixels, and the distance from the camera to the coal conveying gallery is such that each pixel corresponds to an area of 1 cm x 1 cm in the actual environment;

[0098] Step 3.2 Establish the coordinate system:

[0099] A Cartesian coordinate system is established in the coal conveying gallery, with one end of the coal conveying gallery as the origin, and the coordinate system aligned with the length and width of the coal conveying gallery;

[0100] Step 3.3 Map the grid to the actual area:

[0101] Step 3.3.1 Calculate the projection length

[0102] Since the camera and the top of the coal conveying gallery form a 30-degree angle, the projection length of the camera's field of view on the surface of the coal conveying gallery needs to be calculated:

[0103] Let the distance from the camera to the top of the coal conveying gallery be h meters, then the projection length L is calculated by the following formula:

[0104]

[0105] Step 3.3.2 Calculate the actual size of a single grid

[0106] Let the infrared matrix be a 9x9 grid, then the actual length l occupied by each grid in the projection length is calculated by the following formula:

[0107]

[0108] Step 3.3.3 Determine the actual position of the grid

[0109] For each grid in the infrared matrix, its position in the actual coordinate system is calculated by the following formula:

[0110] Let the coordinates of the grid be (i, j) in the infrared matrix, then its position (X, Y) in the actual coordinate system is calculated by the following formula:

[0111] X = i x l

[0112] Y = j x l;

[0113] Step 3.3.4 Calculate the area of the actual area corresponding to the grid

[0114] The actual length l occupied by each grid in the projection length, the area A of the actual area corresponding to each grid is calculated by the following formula:

[0115] A = l x l;

[0116] This area A represents the actual size of each grid in the coal conveying corridor, which is very important for assessing the scale of the fire and allocating resources;

[0117] In this way, each grid point is associated with an actual area in the environment;

[0118] Step 3.3.4 stores mapping information

[0119] Create a data structure for each grid to store its position, size, and area information in the actual coordinate system, which will be used for subsequent fire detection and early warning;

[0120] Step 3.4 calibration and verification

[0121] Place an object with a known temperature in the coal conveying corridor at the coordinates (20 meters, 5 meters), observe the temperature value of the corresponding grid in the infrared matrix, and compare it with the actual temperature of the object. If there is a deviation, you can adjust the spatial scale or recalibrate the camera to correct it;

[0122] Through the above steps, the correspondence between each grid point in the infrared matrix and the actual area in the coal conveying corridor is established, and the tilt angle and spatial scale of the camera are considered. This mapping is crucial for the accuracy of the fire warning system, and by calculating the area of each grid, the scale of the fire can be more effectively assessed and resources can be allocated more efficiently;

[0123] In addition, the calculation of the area of the actual area corresponding to each grid in the above steps has the following technical effects:

[0124] In the case of a fire, by calculating the area of each grid and knowing which grids detect fire, the scale of the fire can be estimated;

[0125] In the case of emergency response, knowing the area affected by the fire can help optimize resource allocation, such as for larger fires, more firefighters and equipment may be needed.

[0126] In this embodiment, there is a specific mapping relationship between pixel value and temperature, which can be obtained in advance by calibrating pixel values and corresponding temperature values. The calibration example is as follows:

[0127] Let pixel value 100 correspond to temperature 20℃

[0128] Let pixel value 150 correspond to temperature 30℃

[0129] Let pixel value 200 correspond to temperature 40℃

[0130] Suppose there are four pixels in a grid, and their pixel values are 110, 120, 130, and 140, respectively. First, calculate the average of these pixel values: (110+120+130+140) / 4=125. Then, according to the mapping relationship, it can be estimated that the pixel value 125 corresponds to a temperature of about 25°C.

[0131] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional array is constructed according to the temperature value of each grid, specifically:

[0132] A. Initialize the two-dimensional array

[0133] Create a 9x9 two-dimensional array, which will be used to store the temperature value of each grid;

[0134] B. Traverse each grid

[0135] Suppose the grid being processed is in the 2nd row and 3rd column, and there are four pixels in this grid, with pixel values of 110, 120, 130, and 140, respectively;

[0136] For each grid in each frame of thermal image, perform the following steps:

[0137] Calculate the average pixel value:

[0138] Calculate the average of all pixel values in the grid: (110+120+130+140) / 4=125;

[0139] Map to temperature:

[0140] Using the mapping relationship between pixel value and temperature, convert the average pixel value to temperature. Suppose the mapping relationship is linear, that is, for every 10 pixel value increase, the temperature increases by 5°C. Then, the pixel value 125 corresponds to a temperature of 25°C;

[0141] Store the calculated temperature value 25°C in the [2][3] position of the two-dimensional array;

[0142] C. Repeat step B

[0143] For other grids in the thermal image, repeat step 2 until the temperature values of all grids are stored in the two-dimensional array;

[0144] D. After completing step C, each element in the two-dimensional array corresponds to a grid in the original thermal image, and the value of the element is the temperature of that grid;

[0145] Through the above process, a 9x9 two-dimensional array is obtained, which can clearly show the temperature distribution of the original thermal image.

[0146] In this embodiment, from the infrared matrix data, the interference items in the coal conveying corridor are excluded, specifically:

[0147] Step 4.1 Establish the temperature range database of interference items:

[0148] Obtain the temperature range of interference items such as belts, bearings, water vapor, and coal heat in the actual operating environment, for example, the temperature of the belt during normal operation is usually 30-50 degrees Celsius, the normal operating temperature of the bearing is 40-80 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the water vapor may be around 100 degrees Celsius. Store these data in the database for subsequent comparison;

[0149] Step 4.2 Analyze the infrared matrix data:

[0150] Traverse each element in the infrared matrix to obtain its temperature value. Since the infrared matrix is composed of a two-dimensional array in step 3), each element represents the temperature value of a square, so the temperature value of each element in the two-dimensional array can be obtained by looping through it;

[0151] Step 4.3 Compare the temperature value with the interference item temperature range in the database:

[0152] For each element in the infrared matrix, compare its temperature value with the interference item temperature range established in step 4.1. If the temperature value falls within the temperature range of the interference item, mark the element as an interference item;

[0153] Step 4.4 Process the elements marked as interference items:

[0154] For elements marked as interference items, two processing methods can be adopted: one is to set their temperature value to a specific value, such as the minimum temperature Tmin, to indicate that this area is not a high-temperature area of fire; the second is to directly remove the element from the infrared matrix to reduce the complexity of subsequent analysis;

[0155] Step 4.5 Repeat steps 4.2 to 4.4 until all elements in the infrared matrix are processed:

[0156] Continue to traverse the next element in the infrared matrix and repeat steps 4.2 to 4.4 until all elements are analyzed and processed.

[0157] In this embodiment, the infrared thermal imaging video pays more attention to heat sources and temperature changes, which is of great value for detecting fire sources and predicting fire development. While ordinary image videos can capture color, shape, texture, and other features, which are more suitable for smoke detection, as the color, concentration, shape change, and other features of smoke can be obtained from image videos, while the infrared thermal imaging has relatively weak ability to capture these features.

[0158] In this embodiment, through step 8), the image video is analyzed to obtain the information of the smoke, and a reaction can be made in the initial stage of the fire, so as to reduce the possible loss.

[0159] In this embodiment, the "highest temperature square point in the infrared matrix" mentioned in steps 5-7 can be the same square point, or can change to another position over time, for example, the coordinate point (4, 5) is originally the highest temperature, but the material next to it is more easily heat-conducting, and (4, 6) can be the highest temperature.
