Description

It can capture the temperature distribution on the surface of an object and display the temperature difference in different colors, so as to achieve target detection and recognition. Since the infrared thermal imaging detector is sensitive to high-temperature sources, infrared radiation generated by other high-temperature objects (such as sunlight, industrial equipment, etc.) in outdoor or industrial environments may be misjudged as flames, resulting in a relatively high false alarm rate.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for flame recognition for an infrared thermal imaging detector, which is used to solve the technical problem that the prior art cannot first combine reflection data to exclude temperature anomalies caused by reflection, and then analyze the fire risk through the ignition point data of combustibles at the temperature anomaly points and the possibility of flames, resulting in a reduction in the accuracy of fire identification.

[0044] In order to make the object, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the following described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flow chart of the steps of a flame recognition method for an infrared thermal imaging detector provided by the present invention.

[0046] A flame recognition method for an infrared thermal imaging detector provided by the present invention includes:

[0047] S1. Obtain the visualized thermal image generated by the infrared thermal imaging detection component, analyze the temperature anomaly according to the thermal image, and locate the temperature anomaly point;

[0048] In this embodiment, S1 includes the following specific steps:

[0049] Obtain the visualized thermal image generated by the infrared thermal imaging detection component. Infrared thermal imaging technology is a technology that detects the infrared ray signals of the thermal radiation of an object and converts them into images or graphics that can be distinguished by the human vision. The surface of the object emits infrared radiation according to its temperature. The infrared thermal imaging fire detector captures the radiation signals through a vanadium oxide uncooled infrared focal plane imaging detection component, and then converts the received infrared light signals into electrical signals. After the electrical signals are processed, a thermal image that can be recognized by the human vision is generated, showing the temperature distribution of the object. The vanadium oxide uncooled infrared focal plane imaging detection component forms an image through infrared rays with a response band of 8-14 μm, which can reduce the interference factors of non-contact temperature measurement;

[0050] Perform grayscale processing on the thermal image and calculate the average grayscale of the set area. In specific implementation, the calculation of the average grayscale of the set area can select the following formula: , where is the average grayscale of the set area, is the length of the set area, is the width of the set area, is the pixel value of the coordinate point (i, j), is the total pixel value of the set area;

[0051] Compare the average grayscale of the set area with the pixel threshold converted through the mapping relationship of the set temperature threshold. In specific implementation, the calculation of converting the set temperature threshold into a pixel threshold through the mapping relationship can select the following formula: , where is the pixel threshold converted from the set temperature threshold through the mapping relationship, is the set temperature threshold, is the total temperature measurement span of the infrared thermal imaging fire detector. In this embodiment, the temperature measurement range of the infrared thermal imaging fire detector is -20°C to 550°C. Therefore, the total temperature measurement span is 570°C, and the pixel range of the 8-bit grayscale image is (0, 255). Multiplying the above formula by 256 is used to uniformly map the set temperature threshold to the complete 256-pixel value interval;

[0052] When the average grayscale of the set area is less than the grayscale threshold, it is judged that the temperature of the set area is normal. When the average grayscale of the set area is greater than or equal to the grayscale threshold, it is judged that the temperature of the set area is abnormal, and the positioning of the temperature abnormal point is obtained. In specific implementation, obtaining the positioning of the temperature abnormal point includes the distance and angle between the temperature abnormal point and the center point of the set area. The calculation of obtaining the distance between the temperature abnormal point and the center point of the set area can select the following formula: , where is the distance between the temperature abnormal point and the center point of the set area, is the abscissa of the coordinate point (i, j), is the abscissa of the center point of the set area, is the abscissa of the image moment of the temperature abnormal area, is the ordinate of the coordinate point (i, j), is the ordinate of the center point of the set area, is the ordinate of the image moment of the temperature abnormal area. The calculation of obtaining the angle can select the following formula: , where is the angle between the temperature abnormal point and the center point of the set area. The above formula calculates the distance and angle between the temperature abnormal point and the center point of the area through the image moment, improving the accuracy of the positioning of the temperature abnormal point. In this embodiment, the average grayscale of the set area is calculated and compared with the pixel threshold converted from the set temperature threshold through the mapping relationship, subtracting the calculation amount of the non-key area while ensuring the coverage of the key monitoring range, and improving the efficiency of the temperature abnormal judgment.

[0053] Exemplarily, in order to prevent coal spontaneous combustion and monitor equipment anomalies, a certain coal loading and unloading terminal installed ten infrared thermal imaging fire detectors with a field of view of 90.0° * 62.5° to comprehensively and continuously monitor the terminal conveyor belt, obtain the visual thermal images generated by the infrared thermal imaging fire detectors, perform grayscale processing on the thermal images, and obtain the average grayscale of the temperature fluctuation area. Since the conveyor belt transports coal, combined with the characteristics of coal spontaneous combustion and safety standards, the set temperature threshold can be set to 70 - 80 °C, and it can also be adjusted up and down by 5 °C in combination with the high-temperature and high-humidity environment. For example, when the set temperature threshold is set to 80 °C, the corresponding pixel threshold is 80 °C / 570 °C × 256 ≈ 36. Obtain the distance and angle between the temperature anomaly point and the center point of the area where the average grayscale is greater than or equal to 36, and locate the temperature anomaly point.

According to the comparison result between the included angle and the half field of view angle of the component, it is determined whether the reflected light can enter the infrared thermal imaging detection component. The half field of view angle is the maximum allowable deviation angle of the infrared thermal imaging detection component relative to the center line. If the included angle is less than or equal to the half field of view angle of the component, it is determined that the reflected light can enter the infrared thermal imaging detection component, and the operation of step S25 is performed. If the included angle is greater than the half field of view angle of the component, it is determined that the reflected light cannot enter the infrared thermal imaging detection component, and the operation of step S3 is performed;

[0066] S25. Obtain the reflection intensity according to the incident angle and the reflectivity of the reflection surface, and obtain the theoretical temperature rise according to the reflection intensity.

[0068] S26. Determine whether the temperature anomaly point is a reflection according to the theoretical temperature rise and the actual temperature rise of the temperature anomaly point. If the theoretical temperature rise is greater than or equal to the actual temperature rise, it is determined that the temperature anomaly point is a reflection point. If the theoretical temperature rise is less than the actual temperature rise, it is determined that the temperature anomaly point does not conform to the reflection, and the temperature anomaly point that does not conform to the reflection is marked as a suspicious fire monitoring point.

[0069] Exemplarily, a certain coal loading and unloading terminal locates a temperature anomaly point at 10:00 am. The azimuth angle of the reflection surface is 150°, the tilt angle is 30°, the azimuth angle of the infrared thermal imaging fire detector is 90°, the tilt angle is 0°, the solar altitude angle is 45°, and the solar azimuth angle is 120°.
