Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas leak detection technology, and in particular to a gas leak detection device, gas leak detection method, equipment and medium. Background Technology
[0002] Gas leak detection technology is widely used in nuclear industry, pressure vessel and confined space safety monitoring, especially in high-safety-level scenarios such as nuclear reactor containment, where leak detection results directly affect the operational safety of the equipment and accident prevention capabilities. Currently, gas leak detection typically relies on manual inspections or portable detection equipment. Personnel must enter confined spaces and rely on visual observation, auditory judgment, or other methods to investigate leaks, resulting in complex procedures, low detection efficiency, and significant personnel safety risks.
[0003] Furthermore, during nuclear reactor containment leak rate tests and related inspections, the detection environment is often under pressure. Existing gas leak detection devices, when used under such conditions, may be affected by factors such as structural stability, environmental noise, and temperature changes, leading to reduced reliability of the detection signal. In addition, many related technologies rely on a single detection signal for leak assessment, making it difficult to accurately identify the leak area under complex background noise and temperature disturbances. They also lack the ability to precisely locate and visualize the leak position, resulting in low detection accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a gas leak detection device to improve the efficiency and accuracy of gas leak detection. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a gas leak detection device, gas leak detection method, equipment, and medium, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of gas leak detection.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a gas leak detection device, comprising: The gimbal consists of a main body, a multimodal sensing unit, and a fusion processing unit. The multimodal sensing unit is disposed on the outer shell of the gimbal body and includes: The ultrasonic leak detection module is used to collect ultrasonic signals generated by leaking gas and output corresponding acoustic characteristic signals. The infrared thermal imaging module is used to acquire infrared radiation images of the detection area and output image feature signals that identify areas with abnormal temperatures. A laser ranging module is used to determine the distance information from the gas leak detection device to the temperature anomaly area; The visible light imaging module is used to acquire visible light images of the detection area; The fusion processing unit, communicatively connected to the multimodal sensing unit, is used to analyze the acoustic feature signals through a detection model to obtain analysis results. The analysis results are used to indicate whether there is a suspected leak point. If the analysis results indicate the existence of the suspected leak point, the image feature signals are analyzed to determine the leak area. The leak area is temperature-compensated and spatially located using the distance information to obtain positioning information. The positioning information is then mapped to the visible light area for marking to obtain a detection result containing spatial coordinate markings.
[0006] Secondly, this application provides a gas leak detection method, applied to any of the gas leak detection devices described in this application, comprising: The acoustic feature signal is analyzed using the detection model to obtain the analysis result; the analysis result is used to indicate whether the suspected leak point exists. If the analysis results indicate the existence of the suspected leak point, the image feature signals are analyzed to determine the leak area; The leakage area is temperature-compensated and spatially located using the distance information to obtain the location information. The location information is then mapped onto the visible light area for marking to obtain the detection result containing the spatial coordinate marking.
[0007] Thirdly, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the gas leak detection method described above.
[0008] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which stores a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described gas leak detection method.
[0009] This application provides a gas leak detection device, a gas leak detection method, equipment, and medium. The gas leak detection device includes a pan-tilt unit, a multimodal sensing unit, and a fusion processing unit. The multimodal sensing unit is disposed on the outer shell of the pan-tilt unit and includes: an ultrasonic leak detection module for acquiring ultrasonic signals generated by leaking gas and outputting corresponding acoustic feature signals; an infrared thermal imaging module for acquiring infrared radiation images of the detection area and outputting image feature signals that identify areas with abnormal temperatures; a laser ranging module for determining the distance information from the gas leak detection device to the area with abnormal temperatures; a visible light imaging module for acquiring visible light images of the detection area; and a fusion processing unit, communicatively connected to the multimodal sensing unit, for analyzing the acoustic feature signals through a detection model to obtain analysis results. The analysis results are used to indicate whether there is a suspected leak point. If the analysis results indicate the existence of a suspected leak point, the image feature signals are analyzed to determine the leak area. The leak area is temperature-compensated and spatially located using the distance information to obtain positioning information, which is then mapped onto a visible light area for marking, resulting in a detection result containing spatial coordinate markings. This application integrates an ultrasonic leak detection module, an infrared thermal imaging module, a laser ranging module, and a visible light imaging module onto the main body of a gimbal. A fusion processing unit performs phased processing and fusion analysis of multimodal information based on a detection model, enabling multi-dimensional and complementary detection of gas leaks. Firstly, the acoustic feature signals output by the ultrasonic leak detection module are analyzed to quickly determine the presence of suspected leak points, thus filtering out environmental noise and non-leakage interference in the early stages and reducing the probability of false alarms. Secondly, only when the analysis results indicate the presence of a suspected leak point is the image feature signals acquired by the infrared thermal imaging module further analyzed, effectively reducing computational resource consumption and improving overall detection efficiency and real-time performance. This hierarchical decision-making and on-demand analysis approach significantly improves the accuracy and stability of gas leak identification compared to single-sensor or simple superposition of multi-sensor signals. Furthermore, this application introduces a laser ranging module to acquire distance information, and combines temperature compensation calibration and spatial positioning processing to accurately locate the identified leak area in three dimensions. The positioning information is then mapped onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module for intuitive marking. This allows the detection results to not only indicate whether a leak exists, but also to clearly define the spatial coordinates of the leak point in the actual scene. This helps maintenance personnel quickly understand the leak location, reduces the time cost of manual judgment and secondary confirmation, and improves handling efficiency.

[0019] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a gas leak detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the gas leak detection device 100 includes a pan-tilt main body 1, a multimodal sensing unit 10, and a fusion processing unit (not shown).
[0021] The multimodal sensing unit 10 is mounted on the outer shell of the gimbal body 1 and includes an ultrasonic leak detection module 5, an infrared thermal imaging module 3, a laser ranging module 2, and a visible light imaging module 6. By integrating the above modules, the gas leak detection device 100 can collect information about the target detection area from multiple dimensions such as acoustics, thermal radiation, distance, and visible light imaging.
[0022] The ultrasonic leak detection module 5 is used to collect ultrasonic signals generated by the leaking gas and output corresponding acoustic feature signals to characterize the typical acoustic characteristics of the gas leak. The infrared thermal imaging module 3 is used to acquire infrared radiation images of the detection area and output image feature signals that identify areas with abnormal temperatures to reflect the impact of the leaking gas on the surrounding temperature field. The laser ranging module 2 is used to determine the distance information from the gas leak detection device 100 to the area with abnormal temperatures, thereby providing distance information for subsequent spatial positioning and calibration of the leak area. The visible light imaging module 6 is used to acquire visible light images of the detection area so that the identified leak area and its spatial location information can be intuitively mapped and marked in the visible light image in subsequent processing, realizing the visualization of the leak location.
[0023] The fusion processing unit is communicatively connected to the multimodal sensing unit 10. It is used to analyze acoustic feature signals through a detection model to obtain analysis results. The analysis results are used to indicate whether there is a suspected leak point. If the analysis results indicate that there is a suspected leak point, the image feature signals are analyzed to determine the leak area. The leak area is temperature compensated and spatially located using distance information to obtain positioning information. The positioning information is then mapped to the visible light area for marking to obtain a detection result containing spatial coordinate markings.
[0024] For example, the acoustic feature signal output by the ultrasonic leak detection module 5 is first analyzed using a detection model to obtain analysis results for determining whether there is a suspected leak point in the detection area. When the analysis result indicates the presence of a suspected leak point, the image feature signal output by the infrared thermal imaging module 3 is further analyzed to determine the corresponding leak area, thereby avoiding unnecessary image processing in the absence of a leak. After determining the leak area, the fusion processing unit performs temperature compensation calibration and spatial positioning processing on the leak area based on the distance information provided by the laser ranging module 2 to obtain the positioning information of the leak area. The positioning information is then mapped onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module 6 for marking, thereby generating a detection result containing spatial coordinate markings for intuitive display and accurate indication of the leak location.
[0025] In some embodiments, the outer shell of the gimbal body 1 is integrally molded, eliminating any seams between the parts and structurally improving the sealing performance and overall strength of the gimbal body 1. The internal cavity of the gimbal body 1 is completely filled with cured encapsulation material to eliminate compressible gas spaces. This prevents residual gas or pressure changes from affecting the stability of the internal structure and the working state of the sensor, and reduces the risk of external gas entering the interior of the gimbal body 1. This improves the safety, reliability, and long-term operational stability of the gas leak detection device 100 in gas leak detection environments.
[0026] In some embodiments, the fusion processing unit is further configured to: perform correlation analysis on acoustic feature signals and image feature signals, and identify the leakage area when the acoustic feature signals and image feature signals are successfully matched; determine the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the leakage area based on distance information, and map the three-dimensional spatial coordinates onto the visible light image to obtain a detection result including spatial coordinate markers.
[0027] For example, the consistency of acoustic feature signals and image feature signals in terms of temporal characteristics, spatial distribution, or feature similarity can be used to determine whether the two match. When the acoustic feature signals and image feature signals match successfully, the fusion processing unit identifies and confirms the corresponding leakage area, thereby further reducing the risk of misjudgment. On this basis, the fusion processing unit uses the distance information provided by the laser ranging module 2 to perform three-dimensional spatial positioning of the leakage area, determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the leakage area in space, and map the three-dimensional spatial coordinates onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module 6 for annotation, finally obtaining the detection result containing spatial coordinate markings, so as to achieve accurate indication and intuitive display of the leakage location.
[0028] Based on the above embodiments, the fusion processing unit is further configured to: perform frequency band energy analysis on the acoustic feature signal to extract a first feature vector, perform regional temperature gradient analysis on the image feature signal to extract a second feature vector, and perform similarity calculation on the first feature vector and the second feature vector. If the calculated similarity exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined that the acoustic feature signal and the image feature signal are successfully matched.
[0029] For example, the fusion processing unit can extract a first feature vector that characterizes the acoustic properties of gas leakage by statistically analyzing and calculating the energy distribution in different frequency bands. At the same time, it performs regional temperature gradient analysis on the image feature signal output by the infrared thermal imaging module 3, and extracts a second feature vector that reflects the temperature anomaly by analyzing the spatial trend and gradient distribution of temperature. After obtaining the first and second feature vectors, the fusion processing unit performs similarity calculation on the two to evaluate the correlation between the acoustic features and the temperature anomaly features. When the calculated similarity exceeds a preset threshold (which can be set according to requirements, such as 80% or 90%), it is determined that the acoustic feature signal and the image feature signal are successfully matched, thus serving as an important basis for confirming the leak area, which helps to improve the accuracy of leak identification and reduce the probability of misjudgment.
[0030] In some embodiments, the laser emission axis of the laser ranging module 2 is set parallel to the optical imaging axis of the infrared thermal imaging module 3, so that the laser ranging direction is consistent with the observation direction of the infrared thermal imaging, thereby ensuring that the ranging data can accurately correspond to the target area captured by the infrared thermal imaging module 3; and the target point corresponding to the distance measured by the laser ranging module 2 is located in the center area of the field of view of the infrared thermal imaging module 3, ensuring that the laser ranging data and infrared image features can be accurately matched when performing three-dimensional spatial positioning and calibration of the leak area, thereby improving the spatial positioning accuracy and the reliability of the overall detection.
[0031] In some embodiments, the multimodal sensing unit 10 further includes an attitude adjustment mechanism (not shown). The attitude adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the pitch and azimuth angles of the gimbal body 1 according to the position of the temperature anomaly area in the infrared radiation image, so that the temperature anomaly area is kept in the center of the field of view of the infrared thermal imaging module 3. This ensures that during the detection process, no matter how the target position changes, the infrared thermal imaging module 3 can always accurately observe the leak area, improve the accuracy and real-time performance of leak identification, and provide a stable data foundation for subsequent three-dimensional spatial positioning and visualization marking.
[0032] In some embodiments, the multimodal sensing unit 10 further includes an ambient air pressure sensor (not shown), which is used to monitor the ambient air pressure of the gimbal body 1; the fusion processing unit is also used to perform air refractive index compensation on the distance information according to the ambient air pressure, thereby correcting the laser propagation error caused by changes in atmospheric pressure, ensuring spatial positioning accuracy and the accuracy of three-dimensional coordinate calculation, and improving the reliability and accuracy of gas leak detection under different environmental conditions.
[0033] In some embodiments, the multimodal sensing unit 10 further includes an illumination module 4, which provides illumination to the visible light imaging module 6 when the ambient brightness is lower than a preset brightness threshold, thereby ensuring that the visible light imaging module 6 can still clearly acquire images of the detection area in low light or nighttime environments, enabling the fusion processing unit to accurately mark and intuitively display the leakage area based on the visible light image, thereby improving the overall detection visualization effect and operational reliability.
[0034] As can be seen, the above scheme, by integrating an ultrasonic leak detection module 5, an infrared thermal imaging module 3, a laser ranging module 2, and a visible light imaging module 3 onto the gimbal body 1, and having the fusion processing unit perform phased processing and fusion analysis of multimodal information based on the detection model, enables multi-dimensional and complementary detection of gas leaks. On the one hand, the acoustic feature signals output by the ultrasonic leak detection module 5 are analyzed first to quickly determine whether there are suspected leak points, thereby filtering environmental noise and non-leakage interference in the early stages and reducing the probability of false alarms. On the other hand, only when the analysis results indicate the presence of a suspected leak point is the image feature signals acquired by the infrared thermal imaging module 3 further analyzed, effectively reducing computational resource consumption and improving overall detection efficiency and real-time performance. Through this hierarchical decision-making and on-demand analysis approach, compared to schemes using single sensors or simple superposition of multiple sensor signals, the accuracy and stability of gas leak identification are significantly improved. Furthermore, this application introduces a laser ranging module 2 to acquire distance information, and combines temperature compensation calibration and spatial positioning processing to accurately locate the identified leakage area in three dimensions. The positioning information is then mapped onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module 6 for intuitive marking. This allows the detection results to not only indicate whether a leak exists, but also to clearly define the spatial coordinates of the leak point in the actual scene. This helps maintenance personnel quickly understand the leak location, reduces the time cost of manual judgment and secondary confirmation, and improves handling efficiency.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a gas leak detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a gas leak detection method, applied to a gas leak detection device, the method comprising: S10: The acoustic feature signals are analyzed using a detection model to obtain analysis results; the analysis results are used to indicate whether there are any suspected leak points.
[0036] S20: If the analysis results indicate the existence of a suspected leak point, analyze the image feature signals to determine the leak area.
[0037] S30: Temperature compensation calibration and spatial positioning of the leak area are performed using distance information to obtain positioning information, and the positioning information is mapped to the visible light area for marking to obtain detection results containing spatial coordinate markings.
[0038] For example, the acoustic feature signals acquired by the multimodal sensing unit are first analyzed using a detection model to obtain analysis results for determining whether there are suspected leak points within the detection area. When the analysis results indicate the presence of a suspected leak point, the image feature signals acquired by the infrared thermal imaging module are further analyzed. By identifying the spatial distribution and feature information of the temperature anomaly area, the specific leak area is determined. Subsequently, based on the distance information provided by the laser ranging module, temperature compensation calibration and three-dimensional spatial positioning are performed on the leak area to obtain the spatial coordinate information of the leak area. The spatial coordinates are then mapped onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module for marking, ultimately generating a detection result containing three-dimensional spatial coordinate markings, thereby achieving accurate indication and intuitive visualization of the leak location.
[0039] As can be seen, in the above scheme, the acoustic feature signals output by the ultrasonic leak detection module are first analyzed to quickly determine whether there is a suspected leak point, thereby filtering out environmental noise and non-leakage interference in the early stage and reducing the probability of false alarms. On the other hand, only when the analysis results indicate the presence of a suspected leak point is the image feature signals acquired by the infrared thermal imaging module further analyzed, effectively reducing computational resource consumption and improving overall detection efficiency and real-time performance. Through this hierarchical decision-making and on-demand analysis approach, compared with single-sensor or simple superposition of multi-sensor signals, the accuracy and stability of gas leak identification are significantly improved. In addition, this application introduces a laser ranging module to obtain distance information and combines it with temperature compensation calibration and spatial positioning processing to accurately locate the identified leak area in three-dimensional space. The positioning information is then mapped onto the visible light image acquired by the visible light imaging module for intuitive marking, so that the detection results can not only indicate whether a leak exists, but also clearly define the spatial coordinates of the leak point in the actual scene. This helps maintenance personnel to quickly understand the leak location, reduces the time cost of manual judgment and secondary confirmation, and improves handling efficiency.
