AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current flame and gas detection systems using non-imaging and imaging sensors face challenges in spatially locating flames or gases and are prone to false alarms, lacking the reliability needed for accurate detection and validation.

Method used

A method and system that combines non-imaging and imaging sensor data, utilizing both mid-wave infrared and visible/ultraviolet wavebands to determine detection states and validate the presence of flames or gases within a scene, incorporating health state and reference data to minimize false alarms and enhance spatial specificity.

Benefits of technology

This approach enables reliable detection and validation of flames or gases with spatial specificity, reducing false alarms by integrating non-imaging and imaging sensor data, and allowing for precise location identification within defined areas of interest.

Abstract

A flame or gas detection method (200) includes determining (210) non-imaging sensor system detection state (16; 322, 336) for a scene of interest (14), determining (220) an imaging sensor system detection state (18; 350, 362) for the scene of interest, and validating (230) one of the non-imaging sensor system detection state and the imaging sensor system detection state with the other of the non-imaging sensor system detection state and the imaging sensor system detection state. A flame or gas detecting system detection state (26; 242, 244) is then indicated (240) at a user interface (124; 372) including the validated one of the non-imaging sensor system detection state and the imaging system detection state. Flame or gas detection systems (100; 300) and computer program products (102) are also described.
