Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technology for detecting gas using an infrared image.
- Patent Document 1 includes an infrared camera that captures an inspection target region and an image processing unit that processes an infrared image captured by the infrared camera. Discloses a gas leak detection apparatus having a fluctuation extracting unit that extracts dynamic fluctuation due to gas leak from a plurality of infrared images arranged in time series.
- the temperature change due to the leaked gas is slight (for example, 0.5 ° C.). If the target of gas leak monitoring (for example, where gas transport pipes are connected) is outdoors, if the cloud moves and blocks sunlight, or the cloud that blocks sunlight moves, Compared to the temperature change caused by the gas, the background temperature of the monitoring target changes drastically (for example, 4 ° C.).
- the present inventor cannot display the state of gas leakage in an infrared image unless the temperature change of the background is taken into consideration if the temperature change of the background is larger than the temperature change caused by the leaked gas. That is, it has been found that gas detection is difficult.
- An object is to provide a gas detection image processing apparatus, a gas detection image processing method, and a gas detection image processing program capable of performing image processing.
- a gas detection image processing apparatus that achieves the above object performs image processing on an infrared image obtained by imaging a gas leak monitoring target at a plurality of times.
- the frequency data is lower than the first frequency component data indicating the temperature change due to the leaked gas, and the second frequency component data indicating the temperature change of the background to be monitored is the image data indicating the infrared image.
- a graph showing time-series pixel data D2 of the pixel corresponding to the point SP1, second frequency component data D3 extracted from the time-series pixel data D2, and third frequency component data D6 extracted from the time-series pixel data D2. is there. It is a graph which shows the 1st difference data D4. It is a graph which shows the 2nd difference data D7. It is a graph which shows the 1st variation data D5 and the 2nd variation data D8. It is a graph which shows the 3rd difference data D9. It is an image figure which shows the image I15 of the flame
- the present inventor found that a gas leak and a background temperature change occur in parallel, and if the background temperature change is larger than the temperature change due to the leaked gas, the background temperature If changes are not considered, it has been found that the state of gas leakage cannot be displayed as an infrared image. This will be described in detail.
- FIG. 1 is an image diagram showing, in a time series, an infrared image obtained by photographing an outdoor test place in a state where gas leakage and background temperature change occur in parallel. These are infrared images obtained by shooting a moving image with an infrared camera. There is a point SP1 at the test place where gas can be ejected. For comparison with the point SP1, a point SP2 where no gas is ejected is shown.
- the infrared image I1 is an infrared image of the test place taken at time T1 immediately before the sunlight is blocked by the clouds.
- the infrared image I2 is an infrared image of the test place taken at time T2 after 5 seconds from time T1. At time T2, sunlight is blocked by clouds, so the background temperature is lower than at time T1.
- the image I3 is an infrared image of the test place taken at time T3 10 seconds after time T1. From time T2 to time T3, the state in which the sunlight is blocked by the cloud is continued, so that the temperature of the background is lower at time T3 than at time T2.
- the image I4 is an infrared image of the test place taken at time T4 15 seconds after time T1. From time T3 to time T4, the state in which sunlight is blocked by the cloud is continued, so that the background temperature is lower at time T4 than at time T3.
- the background temperature has dropped by about 4 ° C in 15 seconds from time T1 to time T4. For this reason, the image I4 is generally darker than the image I1, and it can be seen that the background temperature is lowered.
- FIG. 2A is a graph showing the temperature change at the point SP1 at the test location
- FIG. 2B is a graph showing the temperature change at the point SP2 at the test location.

- the horizontal axis of these graphs indicates the frame order. For example, 45 means the 45th frame.
- the frame rate is 30 fps. Therefore, the time from the first frame to the 450th frame is 15 seconds.
- the graph showing the temperature change at the point SP1 is different from the graph showing the temperature change at the point SP2. Since no gas is ejected at the point SP2, the temperature change at the point SP2 indicates the background temperature change. On the other hand, since gas is ejected at the point SP1, gas is drifting at the point SP1. For this reason, the temperature change at the point SP1 indicates the temperature change obtained by adding the background temperature change and the temperature change caused by the leaked gas.
