Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0055] Embodiment 1: please refer to Figure 1 The fabric flame retardant analysis method based on infrared thermal imaging sensing data in the embodiments of the application includes the following steps:

[0057] The process of forming the primary thermal behavior field representing the local heat conduction response of the fabric in S1 is:

[0058] A multi-channel infrared acquisition unit is arranged in a controlled thermal excitation disturbance field to perform time sequence scanning on the surface of the fabric sample; a controlled thermal excitation disturbance field is built under constant environmental temperature and humidity conditions, and a thermal excitation of a set intensity and duration is applied to the surface of the fabric sample to form a repeatable temperature disturbance field; the infrared acquisition unit includes a plurality of distributed sensing modules, each module is equipped with an infrared detector of different waveband to capture the radiation energy distribution of different areas of the fabric surface, and a multi-channel parallel sampling mode is adopted to obtain a continuous thermal image frame sequence with millisecond time resolution; during the time sequence scanning process, each frame of image records the surface temperature field change of the fabric under the action of instantaneous thermal load, and the dynamic capture of the thermal response process is realized;

[0059] Energy integration and temperature difference layering processing are performed on the continuously acquired infrared pixel data, and an energy mutation segment appearing between adjacent frames is defined as a transient heat conduction event; pixel-by-pixel energy integration operation is performed on the acquired infrared image sequence, that is, the radiation intensity change of each pixel point in the time dimension is accumulated to obtain the heat flux change curve in unit time, and the surface area of the fabric is divided into a plurality of hierarchical intervals according to the temperature gradient through the temperature difference layering algorithm to identify the energy transition layer in the heat conduction process; for a pixel group with significant radiation energy change between adjacent frames, a transient heat conduction event is determined through threshold dynamic matching and time window analysis, which not only reveals the transmission path of thermal disturbance in the fabric, but also describes the local differences of heat diffusion speed and energy release rate;

[0060] The local heat flow direction is calculated through the energy gradient vector between pixels, and the heat flow vector is spatially rearranged in combination with the fabric texture distribution; after identifying the transient heat conduction event, energy gradient operation is performed on the corresponding region to calculate the energy change rate and directionality between adjacent pixels, thereby forming a gradient vector field representing the heat diffusion trend, each vector represents the main direction and intensity of heat energy transmission in the local region, and the vector field is structured and corrected in combination with the microstructure characteristics of the fabric (such as the arrangement angle of warp and weft fibers, porosity and thickness distribution) to make the heat flow direction consistent with the actual fiber heat conduction path; the spatial rearrangement operation is realized through a texture mapping algorithm, which can eliminate the errors caused by the infrared sampling angle and surface roughness, so that the heat flow vector reflects the real heat conduction track on a local scale;

[0061] With heat flux vector density and gradient change rate as the core parameters, the local heat conduction response function domain is constructed, and the primary thermal behavior field representing the local heat conduction response of the fabric is formed; the heat flux vector field after spatial rearrangement is taken as the input, the heat flux density (unit area heat flux) and the gradient change rate (the rate of heat flux change over time) of each local area are extracted, and the local heat conduction response function is established based on the core parameters, which reflects the heat conduction inertia, thermal hysteresis effect and thermal diffusion non-uniformity of the fabric under different energy inputs. The heat conduction response functions of each region on the surface of the sample are continuously interpolated and fitted to form a heat conduction response function domain covering the whole region.

[0062] S2: Based on the discontinuous change of energy flux density in the primary thermal behavior field, the boundary disturbance model of the local overheating domain is established, the thermal transition mode of the combustion initiation zone is identified by comparing the shape difference between the heat propagation path and the radiation energy decay area, and the critical response graph reflecting the thermal instability trend is generated.

[0063] The process of establishing the boundary disturbance model of the local overheating domain in S2 is as follows:

[0064] The modulus sequence of the heat flux vector in the primary thermal behavior field is continuously detected, and the gradient mutation points and their neighborhood distribution are marked; in the primary thermal behavior field, the modulus of the heat flux vector of each spatial unit is extracted in time sequence to form a sequence, and the sequence is smoothed to reduce the influence of measurement noise, for example, through short-time averaging or weighted filtering method, in the smoothed sequence, by analyzing the change amplitude and trend between adjacent time points, the positions where the heat flux modulus appears rapid increase or decrease are identified, these positions are the gradient mutation points, according to the distribution of pixels or units around the mutation points, the neighborhood range of each mutation point is determined, and the heat flux modulus change in the neighborhood is recorded;

[0065] The local energy flow disturbance function is constructed in the neighborhood range of the mutation point, and the abnormal energy flow aggregation area is defined as the potential overheating domain; for each marked gradient mutation point, the spatial units in its neighborhood are analyzed by weighting according to the distance from the mutation point and the heat flux direction, the heat flow change intensity in the neighborhood is summarized to form a local energy flow disturbance function, which is used to reflect the energy concentration or diffusion trend in the region, in the disturbance function, the energy accumulation in the abnormal energy flow aggregation area in the neighborhood is judged, and the region with continuous abnormal energy accumulation is defined as the potential overheating domain, the spatial position, area and heat flux intensity change of the potential overheating domain are recorded;

[0066] The geometric boundary of the overheating area is determined by using a region growing algorithm based on topological adjacency, and a boundary disturbance coefficient is calculated; starting from the high-energy unit of the potential overheating area, the surrounding units are gradually expanded through topological adjacency (such as the connection relationship of adjacent pixels or units), and the units meeting the energy concentration and direction consistency conditions are included in the overheating area, until the region growing ends, after the region growing, the outer edge of the region is smoothed to make the boundary form more continuous and reasonable, and the boundary disturbance coefficient is evaluated according to the intensity of the heat flow change on the boundary and the tortuosity of the boundary form, which can quantify the disturbance degree of the boundary and the characteristics of local energy imbalance;

[0067] Through coupling analysis of the disturbance coefficient and the energy expansion rate, a boundary disturbance model representing the degree of local thermal imbalance is formed; the boundary disturbance coefficient of each overheating area is compared and analyzed with the area or energy expansion speed of the region in a continuous time window, a representation model of the degree of regional thermal imbalance is established, the relationship between the boundary disturbance intensity and the energy expansion speed is analyzed, the trend of rapid accumulation or diffusion of thermal energy is identified, and it is judged whether the local thermal area is likely to be unstable or combustion initiation, and the imbalance characteristics of each overheating area are summarized to form a complete boundary disturbance model.

[0068] The process of generating a critical response graph reflecting the thermal instability trend in S2 is:

[0069] According to the boundary disturbance model, the energy flow expansion path is extracted, and the extension direction of each path and the energy decay rate form a corresponding sequence; after the boundary disturbance model is constructed, the energy distribution and heat flow direction of each overheating area in the model are analyzed, the local energy expansion path is extracted along the heat flow vector, each path includes a sequence of spatial units along the heat flow direction, and the energy change of each unit is recorded, the directional sequence of energy flow expansion is formed by recording the time sequence of the thermal energy decay rate of each unit on the path, which can accurately reflect the propagation trend and decay characteristics of heat in the local material;

[0070] The spatial consistency of the expansion path and the radiation energy decay area is compared by using a morphological difference matching algorithm, and the local energy flow inversion area is screened out; the extracted energy flow expansion path is compared with the observed radiation energy decay area in the infrared imaging data, the coincidence degree, deviation angle and energy difference of the path and the decay area are analyzed by using a morphological difference matching algorithm, and the area where the expansion path and the radiation energy decay area exist obvious deviation or reverse energy flow is marked as a local energy flow inversion area, and the abnormal area of thermal energy expansion is identified by comparing the directionality, energy change trend and spatial position consistency of the path;

[0071] The mutation point of the heat propagation rate in the energy flow inversion region and the energy flow reversal region are identified to recognize the heat transition mode of the combustion initiation region; in the calibrated local energy flow inversion region, the change of the heat flow rate of each unit is analyzed in time sequence to identify the mutation point of the heat propagation rate, which usually corresponds to the position of local energy accumulation or heat rebound, and the length and intensity of the energy flow direction reversal are counted, and these information are combined to form the heat transition mode of the combustion initiation region, which can describe the characteristics of local heat energy sudden accumulation or direction reversal and provide quantitative basis for judging the potential combustion risk;

[0072] A heat instability trend surface is generated according to the distribution density of the heat transition mode, and is superimposed on the primary thermal behavior field to form a critical response map; the heat transition mode of the combustion initiation region is statistically analyzed in terms of spatial distribution density, and a three-dimensional heat instability trend surface is generated according to the mode density and energy intensity, which reflects the distribution trend of local thermal imbalance and potential combustion risk, and the distribution trend surface is superimposed on the primary thermal behavior field to form a complete critical response map by combining with the original heat flow vector and local heat conduction response information, which not only shows the spatial distribution of the heat instability trend, but also intuitively reflects the intensity and possible spread path of the local energy flow anomaly.

[0073] S3: mapping the thermal potential difference of each region in the critical response map to the energy constraint state inside the material, combining the fabric organization density and thermal resistance gradient parameters, and deriving the time bias distribution of energy conduction.

[0074] The process of mapping the thermal potential difference of each region in the critical response map to the energy constraint state inside the material in S3 is as follows:

[0075] The critical response map is divided into several equipotential energy regions, and the thermal potential distribution is fitted based on the infrared gray balance value and the thermal conductivity gradient; the image is subjected to multi-scale spatial segmentation, and the entire fabric surface is divided into several regions, the internal thermal energy difference of each region is small, and an equipotential energy region is preliminarily formed, the infrared gray value in each equipotential energy region is statistically analyzed, the local thermal peak and thermal valley positions are identified through gray histogram analysis, and the thermal conductivity gradient is evaluated by combining the heat flow change trend between consecutive frames, based on these gray and gradient information, a weighted fitting method is used to generate the thermal potential distribution surface of each equipotential energy region, so that the thermal potential distribution can truly reflect the energy accumulation and diffusion state inside the region;

[0076] The thermal potential difference is rescaled by introducing the tissue density parameter and the fiber arrangement direction vector in each equipotential energy region; the microstructure characteristics of the fabric, including the fiber arrangement direction, the fabric density, and the fiber interlacing mode, are introduced into the thermal potential analysis for each equipotential energy region, the spatial scale of the local thermal potential is adjusted by analyzing the conduction efficiency of the heat flow along the main direction and the secondary direction of the fiber, and the damping effect of the tissue density on the heat diffusion, so that the thermal potential value not only reflects the infrared imaging signal, but also reflects the actual influence of the fiber structure on the heat conduction, the local neighborhood window analysis method is used to fuse the thermal potential of each pixel with its adjacent pixels and the fiber direction information, so as to enhance the physical rationality of the thermal potential on the microstructure, and a fine-grained thermal potential distribution map is generated;

[0077] An energy constraint function is constructed by the directional gradient of the thermal potential difference and the energy dissipation rate to reflect the local energy closure or leakage state of the fabric; after the local thermal potential adjustment is completed, the directional gradient of the thermal potential difference in each equipotential energy region is analyzed to determine the heat flow trend along the fiber direction and across the fiber direction, the local energy dissipation rate is calculated by counting the heat energy attenuation speed in the continuous time window, and the energy constraint function is constructed by combining the thermal potential gradient and the energy dissipation rate to depict the heat energy closure or leakage ability of each region of the fabric, for example, the region with high energy constraint function value indicates that the heat energy is easy to accumulate to form local overheating, and the region with low value indicates that the heat is easy to diffuse along the fiber or the fabric gap, and the energy release is fast;

[0078] An energy constraint mapping model inside the material is formed by the global distribution of the energy constraint function; the energy constraint functions of all the equipotential energy regions are integrated to generate a global energy constraint mapping model covering the entire fabric sample, which not only reflects the accumulation and leakage state of the local heat energy, but also reveals the heat flow distribution structure of the whole fabric, through the mapping model, the high-risk heat energy accumulation area, the slow energy conduction area, and the possible local overheating area are identified.

[0079] The process of deriving the time bias distribution of energy conduction in S3 is as follows:

[0080] The time sequence layering processing is performed on the energy constraint mapping model to extract the relative conduction time delay of each energy channel; the energy constraint function of each fabric region corresponds to the accumulation and release characteristics of the local heat in the generated energy constraint mapping model, the mapping model is layering processed along the time axis to form continuous time sequence data, each layer represents the thermal potential change in a specific time window, the energy conduction process of each local region is regarded as an independent energy channel, the relative conduction time delay information between different energy channels is extracted by comparing the starting point and the peak value appearance time of the thermal potential change in the continuous time layers, so as to depict the sequence and delay characteristics of the heat transfer inside the fabric;

[0081] The time offset correlation structure is constructed by analyzing the time delay offset rate between energy channels through a sliding regression window; after obtaining the relative time delay information of each energy channel, the data is continuously scanned and analyzed by using the sliding regression window method, the conduction time delay of multiple energy channels is regression fitted in each time window, the change trend and offset rate are calculated to capture the possible local lag or acceleration phenomenon in heat transfer, the time delay change curve of the entire fabric sample is obtained through window-by-window rolling analysis, and the curves are integrated into the time offset correlation structure, which can reflect the synchronization, offset degree and potential non-uniform conduction mode between different regional energy channels;

[0082] In combination with the fabric thickness, thermal conductivity and surface roughness, the time offset correlation structure is balanced and corrected in parameters to output the time offset distribution; after constructing the preliminary time offset correlation structure, the physical properties of the fabric need to be modified, the influence of the thickness of the fabric on the lengthening of the heat diffusion path, the adjustment effect of the thermal conductivity of the fiber material on the heat flow rate, and the local interference of the surface roughness on the heat exchange efficiency are considered, the time delay of each channel in the time offset correlation structure is balanced and adjusted in parameters, so that it is more in line with the actual physical conditions, thereby eliminating abnormal deviations caused by thickness difference or fiber characteristics, and the output time offset distribution not only reflects the relative conduction time sequence of heat in the fabric, but also provides reliable spatial-time mapping information.

[0083] S4: introducing a spectral equalization function under the time offset distribution, performing asymmetric compensation on the local abnormal points of the infrared response data, constructing a fabric combustion stability indicator factor by using multi-dimensional disturbance residuals, and obtaining a dynamic trajectory of the demarcation threshold between the stable region and the unstable region.

[0084] The process of performing asymmetric compensation on the local abnormal points of the infrared response data in S4 is as follows:

[0085] The infrared response data is unfolded into a spectral energy sequence under the constraint of the time offset distribution; the infrared response data of each observation point on the surface of the fabric is rearranged according to the constraint of the aforementioned time offset distribution, so that the data sequence of each collection point can truly reflect the time characteristics and lag effect of local heat conduction, the frequency analysis is performed on the rearranged time sequence signal, the infrared response of each observation point is divided according to different frequency bands to form a spectral energy sequence, each sequence records the energy change of the corresponding frequency band within the entire collection period, not only the time sequence characteristics of the original thermal behavior are retained, but also the local rapid change and long-term trend are decomposed into different frequency bands;

[0086] According to the local variance of the energy sequence, the abnormal point region is determined, and the adaptive asymmetric compensation function is used to correct the abnormal point; the local variance of each sequence is calculated by using the sliding window statistical method, so as to evaluate the energy fluctuation intensity of each time segment, and the region with a local variance significantly deviating from the mean value of the neighborhood is determined as a potential abnormal point region, which may correspond to the local overheating, heat backflow or heat surge phenomenon of the fabric. Through the continuity analysis of the variance change, the duration and fluctuation amplitude of the abnormal event can also be judged. In order to avoid the influence of single noise point on the judgment, the spatial neighborhood information is combined in the abnormal judgment process, the adjacent pixel abnormal regions are aggregated, and a more reliable abnormal region range is formed; for the identified abnormal point region, an adaptive asymmetric compensation function is designed, which is directionally corrected according to the heat change trend before and after the abnormal point, instead of simple average or symmetric smoothing. For the surge abnormality, the compensation function will gradually adjust the energy level of the stable region before and after the abnormal point, so that the energy value of the abnormal point is smoothly transitioned to a reasonable level. For the sudden decrease of abnormality, the local energy response is dynamically enhanced to restore its thermal behavior characteristics. The compensation process considers the time bias distribution at the same time, ensuring that the adjusted thermal response data not only conforms to the local heat conduction law, but also maintains the global consistency of the whole thermal field, avoiding the destruction of the original thermal mode;

[0087] A multi-dimensional disturbance residual is generated by using a time sequence residual vector, and a disturbance main feature is extracted by principal component analysis, so as to construct a combustion stability indicator according to the disturbance main feature; after the compensation is completed, the difference between the original infrared response sequence and the compensated sequence of each observation point is calculated as a time sequence residual vector, which directly reflects the effect of local thermal disturbance and compensation adjustment. The residual vector of all observation points is collected to form a multi-dimensional disturbance residual field, so as to describe the spatial distribution and time evolution characteristics at the same time. This step provides a rich information basis for extracting the main features of the fabric combustion stability, so that the influence of local abnormal points on the overall analysis can be quantified, tracked and visualized. The principal component analysis is performed on the multi-dimensional disturbance residual, and the principal component feature which best represents the local thermal disturbance mode of the fabric is extracted. These principal component features reflect the most significant thermal instability change of the fabric under combustion or high temperature response. According to the time sequence distribution and amplitude information of the principal component feature, a combustion stability indicator is constructed, which maps the complex multi-dimensional disturbance information into an easily understood index.
