[0032] The image conversion unit (400) is characterized by, more specifically, converting an image stored in the image storage unit (300) through a panorama and converting the converted image into a panoramic image that can be viewed in all 360 degrees through correction and combination.

[0033] At this time, the image converted by the image conversion unit (400) can be confirmed through the VR device. That is, the technical feature is that the image captured by multiple image capture devices (10) at each point is converted into a panoramic image that can be confirmed in all 360 degrees, thereby providing an image that can be confirmed in all 360 degrees without additional 360-degree cameras or wide-angle lens equipment.

[0034] FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which a camera of a safety management system utilizing multiple images according to one embodiment of the present invention is installed on a scaffold.

[0035] FIG. 3 illustrates a shooting area of ​​a shooting camera of a safety management system utilizing multiple images according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of image capturing devices (10) are characterized by being installed on a scaffold (1) installed inside a boiler furnace, and in particular, it may be preferable that the plurality of image capturing devices are installed at each vertex based on the scaffold (1). More specifically, it is preferable to install a plurality of image capturing devices (10) on each floor by utilizing the construction system.

[0037] At this time, the scaffold (1) is installed during work inside the boiler, and as it corresponds to a well-known technology, a detailed description of the structure will be omitted. A plurality of video recording devices (10) may be installed, and although they are installed at the top of the scaffold in the drawing, it will be apparent that the location is not limited.

[0038] However, when multiple video recording devices (10) are installed at locations other than the vertex, they can be installed so that no blind spots occur.

[0039] That is, the safety management system utilizing multiple images according to the present invention is characterized in that multiple image capturing devices (10) are installed so that the entire interior of the boiler can be captured so that no blind spots occur.

[0040] At this time, the plurality of video recording devices (10) may be CCTVs, or any device capable of recording video.

[0047] At this time, it is characterized in that the plurality of video recording devices (10) are installed on a scaffold (1) installed inside the boiler furnace, and in particular, it may be preferable that the plurality of video recording devices (10) are installed at each vertex based on the scaffold (1).

[0048] The conversion step (S300) is characterized by, more specifically, converting an image stored in an image storage unit through a panorama and converting the converted image into a panoramic image that can be viewed in all 360 degrees through correction and combination.

[0049] At this time, the image converted through the conversion step (S300) can be viewed through a VR device.

[0050] In addition, the step of transmitting the captured image to the image storage unit (300) is characterized in that the image is transmitted via PoE (Power over Ethernet, Ethernet power supply) and the image is stored in the image storage unit (300) via NVR (Network Video Recorder, network video recorder).

[0051] The step (S400) of controlling workers through the converted image is characterized in that, more specifically, the location and number of workers can be identified through the converted image.

[0052] In addition, the step (S400) of controlling the worker through the converted image is characterized in that the abnormal state of the worker can be determined through the converted image.

[0053] Additionally, there is no need for additional equipment such as a separate 360-degree camera or wide-angle lens, and it is easy to intuitively manage multiple floors and the location of workers can be easily identified in the event of an abnormality, enabling a quick response.

[0054] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, this is only for the purpose of explaining the invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to understand that various modifications or equivalent embodiments are possible from the detailed description of the invention.
