[0020] Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic illustration of a system for detecting and locating a thermal event and for activating a reactive measure, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0021] The present invention is directed at a reactive system for detecting and locating • fire or another thermal source and activating a reactive measure targeting the fire or thermal source.
[0022J Detection of the thermal source is achieved using an imaging device with thermal capabilities such as an IR (Infra-Red) camera. Exact location and pinpointing of the thermal source is achieved by a tracking and guidance system that translates the . position of the detected thermal source and generates directing information to a reactive measure, such as a water cannon, foam fire-extinguisher or other reactive devices.
[0023] Different types of thermal events may be monitored using the system of the present invention: it may be used to detect a fire and direct a fire-extinguishing device to the thermal source, it may be used to direct a water cannon or a tear-gas (if it is desired to clear the vicinity of the thermal source from people or animals, etc.
[0024] A typical system, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprises a thermal imaging device (typically an IR camera) for identifying a thermal source in the field of view of the imaging device, a processing unit for processing an image acquired by the imaging device and obtaining information on the location of the thermal source based on the image data from the imaging device, and for generating actuation commands to a reactive measure device (such as a water cannon, a foam extinguisher or other reactive measure).
The IR camera is preferably a bolometric camera comprising thermistors for calibration of a minimal temperature threshold (the thermistors are also used for determining the temperature of a hot target and its surroundings). The camera preferably scans on-line a known sector (or even a complete periphery if mounted on a rotating platform) and the image data is processed by the processing unit that analyzes the image information. When the camera detects a hot body at or above the threshold temperature the processing unit marks automatically, using a known software application, the pixels of the hot body on the image. The marked pixels are then translated by the processing unit ■ to provide the physical location of the hot body. Marking of the pixels of the hot body on the image acquired allows translating the position of the hot body into the physical
coordinates of the hot body with respect to the center of the camera view (the crosshair). The camera actually translates IR radiation to temperature measurement (Thermography/radiometry). After this translation is done, a cluster of "hot pixels" (the ones that are above a defined threshold) are located and the coordinates of the cluster is output. The control box then translates the coordinates into motion of the cannon drivers movement, and closes a loop.
[00251 A water cannon is preferably used as a reactive measure when it is desired to assign the system of the present invention fire-control duties. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the water cannon comprises a control panel that allows control and actuation of the water cannon both in automatic mode and manual mode. The automatic mode involves taking the generated location information of the hot body, directing the water cannon (that is coupled to a turning and tilting platform) in the direction of the hot body and turning it on to extinguish the fire. The imaging device is ■ used throughout the extinguishing process to acquire on-line image data until it is determined that the hot body is gone (which means that the fire was put out).
[0026] In the manual mode the water cannon may be directed and actuated by a controller using a joystick or similar control apparatus.
[0027] The water cannon may be also equipped with additives such as tear gas, colorings, pepper spray, etc. The manual or automatic control of the water cannon may include direct control and operation of the water cannon including secondary operations, such as various firing modes, pressures, additives and other operational modes.
[0028] The use of the system with tear gas cannon may facilitate use of the system in protecting sensitive installations and places that require elevated security.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the system of the present invention an additional imaging device, in the visible range (such as a color CCD camera), is provided. The visible range imaging device facilitates documentation of the events monitored by the system.
[0030] Both cameras are preferably housed in a protected casing, impervious and heat- resistant, protected from vandalism and unauthorized tampering. The supporting platform may include stabilizers against earthquakes and other shocks to obtain a clear and stabilized image.
[0031] Yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a non-harmful laser beam source, for emitting a non-lethal laser beam on a detected intruder (thermal detection) and deter him or her. In addition or instead' of the laser source the system may include a light beam, in the visible or IR range, to illuminate the source of the thermal event.
[0032] Yet another option for the reactive measure is the use of a pebble gun or rubber bullet gun.
[0033] Similarly the present invention covers the ' use of other non-lethal reactive measures to be incorporated in the system.
[0034] Reference is now made to Fig. 1 illustrating a schematic illustration of a system for detecting and locating a thermal event and for activating a reactive measure, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] An IR camera (1) can be coupled to a water "cannon (3), as shown on the right- hand side of the figure, or provided separately, as shown on the right-hand side of the figure. A CCD camera (2) is preferably provided for monitoring the visible range, directed to the same sector watched by the IR camera. A control box (5) is linked to the cameras and the water cannon. A fan and tilt head (6) is preferably provided coupled to the IR camera (in other preferred embodiments of the present invention it is also provided with the water cannon and the CCD camera). A central control unit (7) is communicating with all the elements of the system and operating them as required. The communication can be done over wires or wireless communication (see antennas 13 of control box 5 and antenna 14 of the control unit 7). A main computer (8) controls the system and a user interface (9) in the form of one or more work stations is provided. An optional operator panel (10) may also be provided.
[0036] The water cannon is also linked to a supply reservoir of additives (4), such as colors or other additives and another optional system of tear-gas supply (here in the form of a tear-gas cylinder 11 with gas nozzles 12).
[0037] It should be clear that the description of the embodiments and attached Figures set forth in this specification serves only for a better understanding of the invention, without limiting its scope.
[0038] It should also be clear that a person skilled in the art, after reading the present specification could make adjustments or amendments to the attached Figures and above described embodiments that would still be covered by the present invention.
