Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to electrical, condition responsive systems. 4 More particularly, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a fire in a s monitored area. 6 7 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART s It is important that an optical fire detector be able to detect the presence of various types of flames in as reliable a manner as possible. This requires that a flame detector be 0 able to dfeCTiminate between flames and other light sources.
- the ⁇ o foregoing needs can be satisfied by providing a method for detecting fire in a monitored a area that comprises the steps of: (1) capturing video images of the monitored area in the
- 28 buffer may provide the necessary storage to allow for the further digital filtering of the
- FIG. 2 an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a method for detecting fire in a momtored area.
- This method is generally seen to comprise the steps of: (a) detecting and capturing, at a prescribed frequency, video images of the monitored area in the form of two-dimensional bitmaps whose spatial resolution is determined by the number of 1 pixels comprising said bitmaps, (b) cyclically accumulating a sequential set of these
- a digital 6 video camera provides a means for detecting and capturing, at a prescribed frequency 7 (e.g., 16 frames per second) and spatial resolution (e.g., 160 x 120 pixels), video s frames or bitmap images of an area that is to be temporally monitored for the outbreak of an open flame fire.
- a prescribed frequency 7 e.g., 16 frames per second
- spatial resolution e.g., 160 x 120 pixels
- These frames, Fi, F 2 , ... Fj are stored in an accumulation 0 buffer, the storage capacity of which determines the size of the sequential data sets i that are cyclically analyzed to identify the presence of an open flame (e.g., an 2 accumulation buffer providing storage for 16 frames, with the analysis cycle being of 3 one second duration).
- This analysis process involves an examination of the temporal variations in the 5 intensity or brightness at each of the pixels that comprise the respective video frames 6 or bitmaps. These temporal variations for the various pixels may be quite complex. 7 However, for the purpose of this analysis, it proves satisfactory to describe these ⁇ variations only in terms of the amplitudes of their steady-state or static component and 9 a specific dynamic component. This is defined to be the dynamic component that is 0 centered around five cycles per second (i.e., 5 hertz, Hz), since this has been found to i be the characteristic frequency component of the intensity fluctuations observed in the 2 flickering, coronal regions of open, turbulent flames. 1 For the purpose of the present embodiment, these measures are computed by
- the dynamic component can be determined by simply counting how many
- FIG. 2a shows such a typical bitmap pattern for an open flame
- FIG. 2 indicates
- the present invention takes the form of an apparatus
- FIG. 3 illustrates how data flows through
- FIG. 3 shows that a charge coupled device (CCD) digital video camera (10), 9 preferably operating in the near infrared range, is used to generate a video signal in 0 form of consecutive bitmap images that are stored in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) i accumulation buffer (12) that provides the necessary storage to allow for further 2 digital filtering of the camera's video signal.
- FIFO first-in, first-out
- An important detail of this apparatus is 3 the organization of the video data in the accumulation buffer (12) so that it is possible 4 to use a standard digital signal processor (DSP) chip (14) to produce the dynamic and 5 static components of the video image.
- DSP digital signal processor
- Every paragraph contains sixteen 9 brightness values from consecutive frames that belong to a given pixel. 0
- the entire buffer is passed, through one or more DSP i chips. For simplicity, two DSP chips are shown in FIG. 4, a low-pass DSP for the 2 static image component and a band-pass DSP for the dynamic image component. At 1 the output of each DSP, every 16-th value in the sequence is selected and, using an
- bitmaps should be allocated in the shared memory accessible by a
- microcontroller (16) that is responsible for identifying the occurrence of a fire (i. e. ,

- This parallel arithmetic unit will be able to perform DSP filtering to separate ie the static and dynamic component of images having resolutions of up to 640 x 480
- the clusters can be identified and analyzed in accordance to the algorithm of is FIG. 2 using the scalar processor of the A336 chip. In case of the positive
