Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of infrared spectrum imaging technology, in particular to a method for testing the performance of infrared spectrum video equipment. Background Art

[0002] As a leading global chemical producer, my country faces a challenging production safety situation. Against this backdrop, the development of efficient and accurate gas leak detection technology is crucial. Infrared spectroscopy video imaging, an innovative solution in this field, integrates advanced infrared spectroscopy analysis with intelligent video surveillance technology to create a comprehensive monitoring system with real-time monitoring, rapid identification, and intelligent early warning capabilities. This technology enables visual tracking and precise location of leaking gas, providing a scientific basis for emergency response decisions and effectively enhancing the inherent safety of chemical companies.

[0003] The performance of infrared video equipment used in infrared spectroscopy imaging technology significantly impacts gas imaging and detection. Existing performance testing methods for infrared video measurement and control systems are based on thermal imagers, with measurement units of ppm·m or vol%·m. Performance indicators include noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD), minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD), minimum detectable temperature difference (MDTD), and maximum temperature measurement range.

[0004] However, when measuring gases based on existing measurement units, environmental factors such as gas temperature and background radiation are not considered, resulting in errors in the measurement results. Furthermore, existing performance indicators have a poor correlation with measurement units, making them inadequate for simulating the sensitivity and performance of infrared spectroscopy equipment under various gas concentrations at different ambient temperatures. Therefore, testing the performance of infrared spectroscopy equipment based on existing performance indicators is subject to issues such as imperfect testing methods and insufficient testing scenarios. This leads to a variety of potential errors in testing the performance of infrared spectroscopy equipment under different gas concentrations and temperatures.

[0033] To address the problem that existing measurement units do not take into account the impact of environmental factors, the present invention proposes a new measurement unit for infrared spectroscopy video equipment. When constructing this measurement unit, an infrared spectroscopy video measurement and control platform is used to acquire data.

Figure 1As shown, the platform is equipped with a detachable independent measurement chamber 2 between the blackbody light source 3 and the infrared spectrum video device 1. By different combinations of different numbers of independent measurement chambers 2, measurement chambers of different lengths can be obtained, which is used to solve the problems of short adjustable chamber length or fixed length in the prior art.

[0035] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for constructing a measurement unit of an infrared spectroscopy video device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101 to S106.

[0036] Step S101: Based on a plurality of set gas concentrations, gas temperatures and surface radiation source temperatures, a plurality of gas concentration, gas temperature and surface radiation source temperature combinations are obtained.

[0037] Step S102: Based on each of the combinations and a pre-established three-layer infrared radiation transmission model, a theoretical radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to each of the combinations is obtained, which is recorded as a first corresponding relationship.

[0038] Step S103: collecting pixel values ​​of the infrared spectrum video device at each of the surface radiation source temperatures, and calculating the corresponding integrated radiation intensity.

[0039] Step S104: fitting each of the pixel values ​​and the integrated radiation intensity to obtain a second corresponding relationship between the pixel value and the integrated radiation intensity.

[0040] Step S105: Based on the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship, the pixel value corresponding to each combination is obtained, thereby obtaining a third corresponding relationship between the pixel value and the gas concentration under different gas temperatures and surface radiation source temperatures.

[0041] Step S106: Convert the gas concentration in the third corresponding relationship into a standard volume, thereby completing the construction of the measurement unit of the infrared spectroscopy video device. The measurement unit is a standard volume, which represents the standard volume of the gas corresponding to the pixel value of the gas detected by the infrared spectroscopy video device.

[0042] The measurement unit of the infrared spectroscopy video device proposed in this invention converts received pixel values ​​into standard volumes of gas. Based on this measurement unit, different measurement results can be obtained for the pixel values ​​of gas detected at different gas temperatures and surface radiation source temperatures, thus helping to avoid errors when the infrared spectroscopy video device detects gases of varying concentrations in different environments.

[0043] Furthermore, the standard volume is sL or Nm 3 .

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the set multiple gas concentrations, gas temperatures and surface radiation source temperatures include: multiple gas concentrations including 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%; multiple gas temperatures including multiple gas temperatures within the range of -20℃-50℃ obtained based on a preset first interval; and multiple surface radiation source temperatures including multiple gas temperatures within the range of 0℃-50℃ obtained based on a preset second interval.

[0045] The first interval can be set to 12.5° C., and the second interval can be set to 10° C. The settings of gas concentration, gas temperature, and surface radiation source temperature can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not limited to the setting ranges proposed in the present invention.

[0046] Furthermore, the pixel value of the infrared spectroscopy video device is an average value of total pixel values ​​collected by the infrared spectroscopy device based on a preset collection time, a preset first collection frequency and a preset collection area.

[0047] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a three-layer infrared radiation transmission model provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown in , the three-layer infrared radiation transmission model is simplified from the multi-layer infrared radiation transmission model. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, there is a closed air chamber in the middle, with a surface radiation source as the background and an infrared spectrum video device for receiving radiation at both ends. The closed air chamber is divided into three layers. The model assumes that the entire path between the background and the infrared spectrum video device can be divided into a series of parallel layers, and each layer calculates the input radiation intensity of the previous layer and the output radiation intensity of the next layer. , its output radiation intensity is a function of wavelength and temperature, given by the previous layer Radiation absorption and The three-layer infrared radiation transmission model is:

[0048] in,

[0049]

[0050] in, is the radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device (W / m²); For the The transmittance of the layer, For the Radiant intensity of the layer (W / m²), For the Temperature of the layer (K), and The first and third layers represent the filters at both ends of the measurement chamber of the infrared spectrum video measurement and control platform. represents the layer where the gas is located, is the layer where the surface radiation source is located; is the absorption coefficient of the gas; is the gas concentration; is the measurement chamber length of the infrared spectroscopy video measurement and control platform (m); is Planck's first constant, ; is Planck's second constant, ; is the wavelength selected in the radiation band of the surface radiation source.

[0051] When performing calculations based on the three-layer infrared radiation transmission model, the transmittance of the filter and gas, as well as the absorption coefficient of the gas, can be obtained by referring to existing technologies. Since the filters at both ends of the measurement chamber are in direct contact with the gas, the temperature of the filter is the same as the gas temperature.

[0052] Furthermore, based on each of the combinations and a pre-established three-layer infrared radiation transmission model, the theoretical radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to each combination is obtained, including: based on a preset step size, selecting multiple wavelengths in the radiation band of the surface radiation source; and for each of the combinations, performing the following operations: substituting the gas concentration, gas temperature, surface radiation source temperature and the multiple wavelengths in the combination into the three-layer infrared radiation transmission model to obtain the radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to the multiple wavelengths; integrating the radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to the multiple wavelengths to obtain the theoretical radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to the combination.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the wavelength band of the surface radiation source is 9.4μm~11.7μm. In order to improve the accuracy of the integration, the step size should be set as small as possible. For example, if it is set to 0.00001μm, the multiple wavelengths selected are 9.40000μm, 9.40001μm, 9.40001μm, ..., 11.70000μm. For a combination of a certain gas concentration, gas temperature and surface radiation source temperature, multiple , and then use the adjacent wavelengths as the upper and lower limits to calculate the multiple The theoretical radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device corresponding to the combination is obtained by integration.

[0054] To eliminate the effects of optical path length (chamber length) and air on radiation intensity, the surface radiation source is placed directly in close contact with the infrared spectroscopy video device 1, and the temperature of the surface radiation source is adjusted. The corresponding pixel values ​​of the infrared spectroscopy video device 1 are collected, thereby more accurately obtaining the correspondence between the pixel values ​​and the actual radiation intensity. The actual radiation intensity corresponding to each surface radiation source temperature can be calculated by integration. The method for calculating the integrated radiation intensity corresponding to each surface radiation source temperature includes: calculating the integrated radiation intensity based on the integrated radiation intensity formula, which is:

[0055] in, and They are the two endpoints of the radiation band of the surface radiation source. When the band of the surface radiation source is 9.4μm~11.7μm, The value is 9.4μm, The value is 11.7μm; is the surface radiation source temperature (K); is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, ; is the integrated radiation intensity of the surface radiation source (W / m²); For band 0 to The ratio of radiation to the radiation of the entire band can be obtained by calculation or by looking up the blackbody radiation function table, as shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1 Radiation function table of surface radiation source

[0057] Obtained by calculation When the band 0 to The calculation formula for the proportion of radiation in the whole band is: .

[0058] Furthermore, converting the gas concentration in the third corresponding relationship into a standard volume includes: substituting the gas concentration at different gas temperatures and the surface radiation source temperature into a standard volume formula to calculate the standard volume, wherein the standard volume formula is:

[0059] in, is the standard volume (scm), is the gas concentration, is the filter window diameter of the infrared spectroscopy video measurement and control platform (m), is the distance between the infrared spectrum video device and the filter window (m). It should be noted that scm and Nm 3 They have the same meaning and both represent standard cubic meters.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an infrared spectrum video device, wherein the measurement unit of the device is a standard volume, and the measurement unit is constructed based on any one of the methods described above.

[0061] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for measuring the standard volume of gas, which is performed by infrared spectroscopy video equipment and includes the following steps S201 to S204.

[0062] Step S201: converting radiation within a collection area into pixel values, wherein the collection area includes unknown gas.

[0063] Step S202: Calculate the integrated radiation intensity of the surface radiation source based on the radiation band of the surface radiation source, the gas temperature and the surface radiation source temperature. , the integrated radiation intensity received by the infrared spectrum video device And the integrated radiation intensity corresponding to the temperature of the radiation of the filters at both ends of the measuring chamber and .

[0064] Step S203: The calculated 、 、 and Substitute the inversion model of the three-layer infrared radiation transmission model to calculate the concentration of the unknown gas. The inversion model is:

[0065] in, is the concentration of the unknown gas, is the absorption coefficient of the gas.

[0066] Step S204: converting the concentration of the unknown gas into a standard volume based on a standard volume formula.

[0067] It should be noted that if the infrared spectrum video device is used for actual measurement, when the integral radiation intensity formula is used to calculate each integral radiation intensity, the surface radiation source temperature is the measured background temperature, the temperature received by the infrared spectrum video device is the measurement value of the device when the gas appears, and the temperature of the radiation of the filters at both ends of the measurement chamber is the ambient temperature. and The average value is a fixed value, for example, the average value is 1, is the distance between the infrared spectroscopy device and the actual background. This formula is more suitable for testing device performance in a laboratory environment. In actual applications, the environment is more complex and factors such as solid particles and water vapor in the air need to be considered. To obtain more accurate results, the formula can be adjusted according to the actual environment.

[0068] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for testing the performance of an infrared spectroscopy video device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps S301-S306.

[0075] The performance test includes zero point calculation, range test, indication error calculation, sensitivity test, detection limit test, repeatability test and / or drift test.

[0076] It should be noted that during the performance test, the test environment should be kept at a constant temperature. The infrared spectroscopy video equipment should be started for at least 10 minutes before the test. The movement temperature should be continuously recorded during the test. For non-cooled infrared spectroscopy video equipment, the movement temperature should be kept stable.

[0077] The measurement unit proposed in this invention is closely related to gas temperature and the temperature of the surface radiation source. When performing performance testing on infrared spectroscopy video equipment using this measurement unit, the effects of gas temperature and the surface radiation source temperature must be considered. The method for testing infrared spectroscopy video equipment performance proposed in this invention utilizes an infrared spectroscopy video measurement and control platform to simulate gas concentrations and the required environment. This allows for more convenient and accurate evaluation of infrared spectroscopy video equipment system performance, helping to avoid issues such as imperfect testing methods and insufficient detection scenarios that exist in existing performance testing. It also reduces the various potential errors associated with infrared spectroscopy video equipment performance testing at different gas concentrations and temperatures.

[0081] It should be noted that the environment should be stable for at least 45 seconds before sampling. The preset sampling time is not less than 2 seconds, and the preset first sampling frequency is not less than 1 time / s.

[0082] Furthermore, the gases required for the performance test include: a test gas, including the test gas specified on the infrared spectroscopy video device or a test gas selected based on the device type, where the device type includes refrigerated and non-refrigerated devices; and a zero-point gas, including clean air or nitrogen, where clean air is air free of the test gas.
