The invention particularly relates to a control method applying an unmanned aerial vehicle and based on multi-
modal characteristics of a fire source, and relates to the technical field of
fire safety. Acquiring multi-
modal data of a fire source in real time; comprehensively estimating the
heat power of the fire source; correcting
combustion intensity; and quantitative calculation of fire extinguishing agent demand. An
infrared imaging sensor, a visible light camera and a gas
sensor array are integrated, a multi-mode fire source
sensing system is constructed, the sensing limitation that a traditional fire extinguishing
system only depends on single temperature or image is broken through, fire source temperature distribution,
flame forms and
combustion gas concentration changes can be comprehensively captured, and
complete data support is provided for
fire behavior judgment; the thermal power of a fire source is estimated in a fusion manner, a
fuel type is combined to calibrate a correction coefficient, a differential quantitative calculation model is established according to liquid and
solid fire extinguishing agents,
fire disasters of different fuels such as wood,
gasoline and plastic are adapted, and economy and fire extinguishing reliability are both considered.
