Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for detecting a flame event by a detector system, the detector system having a radiation detector and at least one camera detector and monitoring a detection area by the radiation detector and the at least one camera detector for occurrence of flame events.
  • the invention further relates to a detector system for detecting a flame event, comprising a radiation detector and at least one camera detector for monitoring a detection area for the occurrence of flame events.
  • radiation detectors can be used, which in particular monitor an environment of the radiation detector for the occurrence of a radiation signature characteristic of flame events, particularly preferably in the infrared spectral range.
  • internal evaluations of the measured radiation for example on radiation modulations, such as are caused by flame events, can cause flame events very quickly, often within 300 ms or faster, and usually also with a low error rate can be detected.
  • a radiation detector is, for example, from the US 5,375,159 known.
  • a disadvantage of such radiation detectors can, however, be that they are only designed for global monitoring of a detection area, so that a flame event is detected as soon as such a flame event occurs in the detection area of the radiation detector. Radiation detectors can therefore not be used, or at least only to a limited extent, in areas in which planned flame events, for example flaming and / or flares, are provided.
  • detectors for detecting flame events are camera detectors, which record image sequences in the visual and / or infrared spectral range, for example. As soon as an indication for a flame event is recognized in one of the images, these image sequences can be subjected to a subsequent image analysis, in which a flame event can be detected reliably and with a low error rate, in particular by image-by-image observation. This precise image analysis is often time-consuming, so that, especially in comparison to radiation detectors, camera detectors can only provide reliable detection of a flame event after a certain time, often several seconds. In addition to this disadvantage of a slow detection speed, camera detectors have the advantage, however, that areas in the images captured by the camera detectors can be excluded from the image analysis and thus the monitoring for flame events. Such flame cameras are for example from the US 6 696 958 as well as the US 7,609,852 known.
  • US 5 734 335 describes a system that monitors a forest and detects and reports a fire early on.
  • Several spatially distributed detectors 1 each generate images which are transmitted to a control center 2 and displayed there on screens 6 and recorded on video recorders 7.
  • Each detector 1 comprises a rotatably mounted video camera 11, a drive 12 for rotating the video camera 11, an infrared sensor 10 for detecting heat sources, a weather sensor 14 and a control device 13.
  • the control device 13 evaluates signals from the infrared sensor 10 and in doing so forms the derivative of Infrared signals, among other things to discover the sun as a large heat source as well as minor heat sources and to exclude a corresponding false alarm due to the sun or a minor heat source.
  • the fire monitoring system 1 from DE 10 2012 213125 A1 comprises a first surveillance camera 4 with a field of view 6 and a second surveillance camera 5 with a field of view 7.
  • the two surveillance cameras 4, 5 can be designed as thermal imaging cameras or cameras in the infrared range between 700 and 950 nm.
  • the two fields of view 6 and 7 are on a common one Monitoring area 8 directed.
  • the surveillance images 4.1 and 5.1 are forwarded to an evaluation device 9 which can detect a fire 2 and in particular smoke 3 on the surveillance images 4.1 and 5.1 and can determine the position of the fire 2 in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
  • An optional masking module 11 masks temporary disruptive objects, for example a crane 13 that runs through.
  • the detection device 1 of DE 10 2008 001 383 A1 comprises an optical device 3, which performs a section of a monitoring area on a sensor element 2.
  • the sensor element 2 is, for example, a CCD chip, a CMOS chip or a camera.
  • the detection device 1 is arranged on a ceiling 12 of a room.
  • the object of the invention was to at least partially eliminate these disadvantages of methods and detection systems for detecting flame events. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a method and a detector system for detecting a flame event, which enable a quick and easy in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner To enable flame events to be detected as error-free as possible in areas in which desired and planned flame events are also expected.

  • the radiation detector is evaluated in order to detect the presence of a radiation event.
  • a radiation event can preferably be caused by an occurrence of a flame event in the detection area, for example as a characteristic radiation signature of such a flame event recognized by the radiation detector.

  • a camera indication is in particular a result of the initial evaluation, in which indications of a flame event in the detection area are recognized in at least one of the images recorded by the camera detector. If a camera detector were operated as the sole detector, a second evaluation, in particular, would follow the detection of such a chamber indication an image-by-image analysis, the measurements of the camera detector are carried out in order to reliably detect the flame event and in particular to exclude incorrect identifications.
  • Such an image-by-image analysis preferably includes a time series analysis by means of which a temporal course of image elements, in particular image elements on which the camera indication is based, can be tracked and assessed.

  • Possible desired flame events for example flaming, can be carried out in this way and can be excluded from detection again by defining the exclusion area in step d), without this impairing detection of unwanted, possibly harmful flame events.
  • a flame event is finally detected if the check in step d) is positive Has delivered the result.
  • the flame event in step e) is detected outside the at least one exclusion area.
  • the flame event is thus detected by the presence of both a radiation event and a camera indication, the camera indication in particular being located outside the at least one exclusion area.

  • a camera event can be recognized, which likewise indicates the presence of a flame event in the detection area.
  • a recognized camera event is present, it is again checked whether the camera event is arranged outside the defined exclusion area. If this is not the case, the detection is terminated and no flame event is detected. However, should the recognized camera event be arranged outside the defined exclusion area, a flame event is recognized in the final step i). This flame event is in turn arranged outside the defined exclusion area.
