In this specification, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like refer to the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a flame monitoring and structure measuring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between peak values of OH, CH, and C 2 radical light wavelengths included in the flame self- Graph.

1, a flame monitoring and structure measuring system using an optical filter and an image pickup apparatus is provided with an image pickup unit 10, an image pickup unit 10, An optical filter 20 for filtering light emitted from the light source 20 and allowing only light having a predetermined wavelength band to pass therethrough, and a processor unit 30 for performing information processing on a flame image acquired through the imaging unit and the optical filter.

Here, the processor unit 30 can derive the flame equivalence ratio by analyzing the concentration of the radicals contained in the flame by using the light filtered by the optical filter.

As shown in FIG. 2, the flame emission can include OH radicals, CH radicals or C 2 radicals. In the ultraviolet region and the visible region of the wavelength band of the flame self-emission, a peak may appear at a wavelength band for a predetermined chemical species. OH radicals, CH radicals or C 2 radicals are the main chemical species of the combustion reaction and have high peak intensities in the ultraviolet and visible regions. The magnitude of the peak for each species of flame emission can be represented by the concentration of each species radical, and thus the flame condition can be diagnosed. The present invention can be used for the measurement of the flame equivalence ratio distribution, which induces the relationship between the self-luminescence intensity of a specific chemical radical and the flame equivalence ratio, using the fact that the concentration of the radical changes with the change of the flame equivalence ratio.
