Thermal radiation is detected late in the solutions currently in use. Temperature sensors are used in current systems. However, Temperature increase occurs after physical or chemical signs of thermal diffusion appear 20 On the other hand, the sound that occurs in the initial stages of thermal escape, No signs such as smoke or gas emissions are being detected. Furthermore... Today, false positives occur due to detection being done with only one type of sensor. and negative rates are high. This situation leads to unnecessary interventions or spread. This causes it to be overlooked. Only 25 of the solutions used today... Obtaining data from the thermal sensor reveals low data diversity, which means...
