[0036] The intelligent processing module is through wavelet threshold denoising→ Laplace edge enhancement→ convolutional neural network (CNN) feature extraction three-level processing flow; The Planck formula is the core basis for temperature calculation, providing accurate temperature data support for the three-level processing flow; the actual temperature measurement model is used to correct the temperature data to ensure the accuracy of the temperature information input into the three-level processing flow; the image features processed by the three-level processing flow combined with the temperature data further improve the fire point feature recognition accuracy; Accurate identification of the dynamic profile of the flame (such as irregular edges + flicker frequency), temperature gradient change of the high temperature point (such as ≥5℃ / cm), fire features, while excluding non-fire interference sources such as sunlight reflection, welding sparks, and temporary high temperature equipment, false alarm rate reduced to ≤0.1 times / month; Thermal imaging equipment calculates the surface temperature of the target object by detecting the infrared energy it radiates, and its basic physical basis is Planck's radiation law and the Stefan-Boltzmann law; 1. Relationship between radiation intensity and temperature (Planck formula): L: spectral radiance λ: wavelength (usually 8-14μm long-wave infrared) T: object absolute temperature (unit: K) h: Planck's constant c: speed of light k: Boltzmann constant The device collects the radiation values of each pixel point in the scene through the sensor, and combines the emissivity (ε), environmental temperature, relative humidity, distance, etc. Parameters for compensation; 2. Actual temperature measurement model (simplified): Combined with a temperature calibration algorithm in an infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement method, the temperature measurement accuracy is improved, and the temperature of the monitored area is analyzed and judged in real time.
[0037] The thermal imaging analysis and judgment operation steps (taking fire warning as an example): Step 1: Device installation and configuration Fixed installation at the high point of the monitoring area, avoiding high temperature interference sources (such as air conditioner outdoor unit, sunlight direct surface); connect the power (POE or DC12V), after network online, login Web management interface or NVR platform; Step 2: Parameter basic setting Set time, time zone, video stream (recommended main stream H.265@1080P~4MP); turn on thermal imaging channel, select pseudo-color mode (recommended "rainbow" or "iron red" to enhance temperature difference identification); Calibration of environmental parameters: Input ambient temperature (use external sensor); set relative humidity, observation distance; adjust emissivity (usually set to 0.95, metal surface needs to be adjusted) Step 3: Configure temperature measurement area and alarm rules: Enter the "temperature analysis" page and draw one or more temperature measurement ROI areas (such as electrical boxes, warehouse stacking areas). Set alarm conditions: Enable "high temperature alarm": trigger when the maximum temperature is greater than 70°C; Enable "temperature rise rate alarm": such as rising more than 10°C in 1 minute; Enable "cold and hot spot automatic tracking": the system automatically identifies the hottest / coldest point in the picture and alarms; Set alarm delay: avoid false alarms (recommended 2~5 seconds); Step 4: Alarm linkage configuration; Bind alarm output: trigger relay to close, link alarm light, exhaust fan or fire main. Enable audible and visual alarm: local speaker emits high-decibel alarm sound (≥70dB). Configure upload platform: alarm information is pushed to the central management platform or mobile APP notification; Step 5: Real-time monitoring and event response Observe the color change of the thermal imaging picture in real time, and focus on the red / white area. When an alarm occurs: check the visible light picture to confirm whether it is a real fire (such as smoke, flame); play back the temperature change trend of the historical video; manually start recording or capture and save evidence; if it is confirmed as a real fire, immediately notify the on-site personnel to handle or link the automatic fire extinguishing system; Step 6: Regular maintenance and calibration Clean the lens every quarter (use special air blowing ball and lens paper). Regularly check the temperature measurement accuracy (use black body or standard heat source to verify). Update firmware to get the latest features and security patches.
[0038] The linkage control module is the core functional unit of "integrated security and fire protection", responsible for automatically triggering the video monitoring system response when the thermal imaging detects abnormalities, and uploading multi-dimensional data (temperature + image) to the monitoring center; when the thermal imaging detects fire hazards, the system will automatically retrieve the high-definition visible light picture of the corresponding area and display it with the thermal imaging image, achieving dual-mode evidence preservation and remote confirmation.
[0039] The specific method steps are: Step 1: Trigger condition judgment The intelligent processing module detects any of the following conditions: the maximum temperature of the area is greater than or equal to a threshold value (such as 70°C) and the temperature rise rate exceeds a set value (such as 10°C / min); automatically identifies the fire point feature (high temperature point + rapid expansion); the system generates a "fire warning" event and enters the linkage process.
[0040] Step 2: Local video stream retrieval Retrieval method: built-in dual-channel video acquisition system (thermal imaging + visible light) in the device, no external request required. Retrieval action: the main control chip caches the last 10 seconds of video frames (H.265 encoding) in real time; saves a video clip of 20 seconds (5 seconds before the trigger and 15 seconds after the trigger) immediately after triggering; synchronously captures a high-resolution picture (including pseudo-color thermal image and visible light image).
[0041] Step 3: Image and data packaging and transmission Data packet content: current thermal image (including temperature annotation); synchronous visible light image (with timestamp) Highest / lowest temperature value, alarm type, device ID, geographic location; video clip (H.265 encoding, low bit rate); Transmission method: Push to NVR / VMS platform; use RTSP or RTMP protocol to actively push real-time stream; support SIP registration (GB / T28181) to access national standard platform. HTTP / HTTPS event notification; send JSON format alarm message to preset URL, including picture link and video path. FTP upload media file; automatically upload screenshots and videos to the specified server directory. Mobile push; push alarm information and thumbnails through platform APP.
[0042] Step 4: Monitoring center reception and display After the center platform receives the alarm: automatically pops up the corresponding channel video window; displays dual-picture comparison (thermal imaging vs. visible light); plays the event video and annotates the temperature change curve; supports manual review and one-key confirmation of fire alarm; linkage control logic in the thermal imaging integrated device (state machine description).
[0043] This module learns from the linkage control logic in the thermal imaging integrated device to ensure the rapidity and accuracy of the linkage response.
[0044] Alarm module: receives the fire warning signal from the intelligent processing module, timely alarms relevant personnel through sound and light alarm, SMS notification, etc., and stores the warning information and related data locally for subsequent query and analysis.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the present application are: Improve fire monitoring accuracy: By integrating high-precision temperature measurement algorithms and intelligent image processing technology, it can accurately identify fire hazards, effectively reduce false positive and false negative rates, and improve the reliability of early fire warning.
[0046] Speed up emergency response: Rapid linkage with security monitoring systems enables staff to obtain real-time images and temperature information of the fire scene in time, providing support for rapid development of disposal plans and shortening emergency response time.
[0047] Enhance environmental adaptability: Optimized device structure design and anti-interference capability enable stable operation in high-temperature, dust, vibration and other complex industrial environments, expanding the application range of the device.
[0048] Improve system integration efficiency: Integrating multiple functions into one reduces the connection and debugging between devices, reducing system construction cost and maintenance difficulty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0084] The thermal imaging temperature measurement algorithm principle of the intelligent processing module (simplified formula description): The thermal imaging equipment calculates the surface temperature of the target object by detecting the infrared energy radiated by the target object, and its basic physical basis is Planck's radiation law and Stefan-Boltzmann law. 1. Relationship between radiation intensity and temperature (Planck formula): L: spectral radiation luminance λ: wavelength (usually 8-14μm long-wave infrared) T: absolute temperature of the object (unit: K) h: Planck constant c: speed of light k: Boltzmann constant The device collects the radiation values of each pixel point in the scene through the sensor, and combines the emissivity (ε), environmental temperature, relative humidity, distance and other parameters for compensation. 2. Actual temperature measurement model (simplified): Combined with a temperature calibration algorithm in an infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement method, the temperature measurement accuracy is improved, and the temperature of the monitoring area is analyzed and judged in real time.
[0085] Thermal imaging analysis and judgment operation steps (take fire early warning as an example) Step 1: Equipment installation and configuration Fixedly installed at the high point of the monitoring area, avoiding high temperature interference sources (such as air conditioner outdoor unit, sunlight direct surface); connect the power (POE or DC12V), and after network online, log in Web management interface or NVR platform.
[0086] Step 2: Parameter basic setting Set time, time zone, video stream (it is recommended that the main stream H.265@1080P~4MP); turn on the thermal imaging channel, and select the pseudo-color mode (it is recommended to use "rainbow" or "iron red" to enhance the temperature difference identification).
[0087] Calibrate environmental parameters: Input ambient temperature (use external sensor); set relative humidity, observation distance; adjust emissivity (usually set to 0.95, metal surface needs to be adjusted) Step 3: Configure temperature measurement area and alarm rules Enter the "Temperature Analysis" page and draw one or more temperature measurement ROI areas (such as electrical boxes, warehouse stacking areas). Set alarm conditions: Enable "High Temperature Alarm": trigger when the maximum temperature is > 70°C; Enable "Temperature Rise Rate Alarm": such as rising more than 10°C in 1 minute; Enable "Cold / Hot Spot Automatic Tracking": the system automatically identifies the hottest / coldest point in the picture and alarms; Set alarm delay: avoid false alarms (recommended 2-5 seconds); Step 4: Alarm linkage configuration Bind alarm output: trigger relay to close, link alarm light, exhaust fan or fire main. Enable audible and visual alarm: local speaker emits high-decibel alarm sound (≥ 70 dB). Configure upload platform: alarm information is pushed to the central management platform or mobile APP notification.
[0088] Step 5: Real-time monitoring and event response Observe the color change of the thermal imaging picture in real time, and focus on the red / white area. When an alarm occurs: check the visible light picture to confirm whether it is a real fire (such as smoke, flame); play back the temperature change trend of the historical video; manually start recording or capture and save evidence; if it is confirmed as a real fire, immediately notify the on-site personnel to handle or link the automatic fire extinguishing system.
[0089] Step 6: Regular maintenance and calibration Clean the lens every quarter (use special air blowing ball and lens paper). Regularly check the temperature measurement accuracy (use black body or standard heat source to verify). Update firmware to get the latest features and security patches.
[0090] The linkage control module is the core functional unit of "integrated security and fire protection", responsible for automatically triggering the video monitoring system response when the thermal imaging detects abnormalities, and uploading multi-dimensional data (temperature + image) to the monitoring center; when the thermal imaging detects fire hazards, the system will automatically retrieve the high-definition visible light picture of the corresponding area and display it with the thermal imaging image, achieving dual-mode evidence preservation and remote confirmation.
[0091] The specific method steps are: Step 1: Trigger condition judgment The intelligent processing module detects any of the following conditions: the maximum temperature in the area is greater than or equal to a threshold value (e.g. 70°C) and the temperature rise rate exceeds a set value (e.g. 10°C / min); automatically identifies fire point features (high temperature point + rapid expansion); the system generates a "fire warning" event and enters the linkage process.
[0092] Step 2: Local video stream retrieval Retrieval method: built-in dual-channel video capture system (thermal imaging + visible light) in the device, no external request required. Retrieval action: the main control chip caches the last 10 seconds of video frames (H.265 encoding) in real time; immediately saves a 20-second video clip consisting of the 5 seconds before and 15 seconds after the trigger after triggering; synchronously captures a high-resolution picture (including pseudo-color thermal image and visible light image).
[0093] Step 3: Image and data packaging and transmission Data packet content: current thermal image (with temperature annotations); synchronous visible light image (with timestamp) Highest / lowest temperature value, alarm type, device ID, geographic location; video clip (H.265 encoding, low bit rate); Transmission method: Push to NVR / VMS platform; use RTSP or RTMP protocol to actively push real-time stream; support SIP registration (GB / T28181) to access national standard platform. HTTP / HTTPS event notification; send JSON format alarm message to preset URL, including picture link and video path. FTP upload media files; automatically upload screenshots and videos to the specified server directory. Mobile push; push alarm information and thumbnails through platform APP.
[0094] Step 4: Monitoring center reception and display After the center platform receives the alarm: automatically pops up the corresponding channel video window; displays dual-picture comparison (thermal imaging vs. visible light); plays the event video and labels the temperature change curve; supports manual review and one-key confirmation of fire alarm; linkage control logic in thermal imaging integrated device (state machine description); as shown below, the following is a pseudo-code form of the internal linkage control logic flowchart of the device: Figure 1 This module draws on the linkage control logic in the thermal imaging integrated device to ensure the rapidity and accuracy of the linkage response.

[0107] Fourth step: Intelligent analysis and judgment logic The system continuously scans the set area (ROI) and performs the following judgments: 1.

[0108] 3. Anti-misreporting mechanism Time delay filtering (2-5 second confirmation); area threshold filtering (excluding small-area instantaneous hotspots, such as birds flying or welding sparks); dynamic environmental learning (automatically adapting to day-night temperature changes). Step 5: Linkage Control and Alarm Output Once an anomaly is confirmed, the device will automatically perform the following actions: 1.

High temperature detected!"), with a loudness ≥70dB (A-weighted); the red LED flashes (frequency 1Hz); and the infrared fill light is turned on to enhance nighttime imaging quality. 2. Video and Image Saving Automatically saves 10 seconds of video before and after the alarm (H.265 encoded); captures high-definition dual-light images (including thermal pseudo-color annotation); image naming format: DeviceID_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.jpg; 3. External Collaboration Relay output: Closes dry contacts to trigger external devices (such as warning lights, fans, and fire extinguishing systems); Alarm input monitoring: Receives external signals (such as smoke alarms) and triggers reverse-linking thermal imaging for focused viewing. 4.
