A fire detector used in normal fire control manages the fire and directs the fire signal directly or indirectly to the manager or the fire department center. At this time, according to the fire signal, the sprinkler, which is a fire extinguishing system inside and outside, is automatically controlled to suppress the fire.

Such a general fire detector is incapable of communicating the fire information to the building user in a short time even though a plurality of receivers are installed inside and outside the building where the fire fighting facility is installed. There is a problem that the place is not delivered.

The image processing unit detects the presence or absence of a fire and the possibility of a fire and transmits the detected fire to the administrator terminal 50 and / or the image server 30 to be confirmed by the web or the portable terminal 40 or the like.

Particularly, in the present invention, the actual image photographed by the photographing unit 10 is mixed with a thermal image for photographing a change in color according to the temperature to detect the temperature change, the presence of flame and smoke, It is possible to accurately detect whether a fire has occurred or not in conjunction with a signal.

In addition, according to the present invention, a temperature change of an object included in an image captured through a mixed image of an actual image and a thermal image can be confirmed, and the presence or absence of latent heat can be recognized. Accordingly, the present invention determines the possibility of a fire by setting a temperature at which a fire may occur in the latent heat (hereinafter referred to as a set temperature) in order to determine the possibility of fire caused by the latent heat.

Here, latent heat means that the object is not flame or smoke, but has a temperature higher than the normal ambient temperature and capable of being developed into a fire. The object corresponds to all objects included in the photographed image (a thing in which a fire can occur).

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an image sensing apparatus for comparing an image sensed by a photographing unit 11 for photographing an analog image and a thermal image, a sensor unit 13 for sensing a flame and smoke, An administrator terminal 50 for receiving and alarming images and fire detection and latent heat alarms transmitted from the image processing member 10; (20, 20 ') for storing an image transmitted from the image processing member via a cable and a network, and an image storing unit (20, 20') for storing the image stored in the image storing unit A server 30 and a portable terminal 40 for receiving a fire or latent heat generation signal from the video server 30.

The image sensing unit 12 includes an image mixing means 122 for synthesizing a real image and a column image, an image conversion means 123 for converting the mixed image into a digital signal, A communication means 125 for transmitting the composite image and the alarm signal through the manager terminal 50 and / or the cable and the network, the above-described flame sensor (not shown) 131) and a smoke sensor (132), receives a recognition signal of a flame and / or a smoke object of the object recognizing means (124), and judges the possibility of fire occurrence and fire occurrence .

The flame sensor 131 is located remotely from the control means 121 and detects a surrounding flame. The flame sensor 131 senses a high temperature at a specific position at an ambient temperature and applies a sensing signal to the control means 121.

The smoke sensor 132 is located remotely from the control means 121 and senses the surrounding smoke. The smoke sensor 132 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element as an optical sensor, for example, and applies a smoke generation signal to the control means 121 when the amount of light received by the smoke is reduced.

The real image camera 111 photographs a surrounding image in real time, for example, CCTV, and applies the captured image to the control means 121 in real time.

The thermal imaging camera 112 senses a temperature change in the area to be photographed and photographs the thermal image to transmit the thermal image to the control unit 121. [ Here, it is preferable that the real image camera 111 and the thermal image camera 112 photograph in the same direction in the same direction.

The thermal image sets a reference temperature value, collects temperature information within the corresponding area, and sets different colors for the respective temperatures. Accordingly, each of the objects included in the image is expressed with different densities and colors depending on the temperature.

The image mixing means 122 combines the actual image and the thermal image photographed by the real image camera 111 and the thermal image camera 112, respectively, and combines them into one image. At this time, the image mixing unit 122 combines the captured image of one of the real image and the column image.

The image converting means 123 converts the image synthesized by the image mixing means 122 into a digital image. For example, the image converting unit 123 integrates a plurality of composite images into one image frame, and simultaneously converts the image into a digital image file such as MPEG or AVI.

The object recognizing means 124 classifies and recognizes flames and / or smoke among the synthesized images and applies them to the control means 121.

Further, the control means 121 controls the communication means 125 to transmit the composite image of the digital format converted by the image conversion means 123 to the image storage unit 20, 20 'and / or the administrator terminal 50 . Here, the video server 30 displays the composite image stored in the image storage units 20 and 20 'on the web or transmits the composite image to the portable terminal 40 via the wired / wireless communication network.

If an object classified into flame or smoke is detected among the objects included in the composite image, the control unit 121 checks the detection signals of the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132, and if flame and smoke are detected And issues a fire alarm to the administrator terminal (50).

In addition, the control means 121 does not recognize objects of flame and smoke in the synthesized image, and there is no flame and smoke detection signals in the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132, And a temperature higher than the ambient temperature. When an object that generates heat at a higher temperature than the surrounding objects and surrounding objects is detected among the objects included in the composite image, the control unit 121 determines whether or not the object is latched by comparing with the set temperature, And a fire alarm is issued.

The administrator terminal 50 includes a terminal control unit 51 for receiving a fire alarm signal and a latent heat alarm signal of the image sensing unit 12 and issuing an alarm and an alarm control unit 51, A display 53 for displaying a fire alarm and a fire occurrence position under the control of the terminal control unit 51 and a display 53 for displaying the fire alarm and the fire occurrence position under the control of the terminal control unit 51. The image server 30 and / (Not shown).

When the fire alarm and the latent heat alarm including the inherent code are received from the image sensing unit 12, the terminal control unit 51 confirms the unique code assigned to each image sensing unit 12, And displays the area where the fire occurrence and the latent heat alarm have occurred.

In addition, the terminal control unit 51 controls the alarm unit to issue a visual and / or audible alarm.

The alarm unit 52 includes a buzzer for generating an alarm sound or a light emission display means for outputting a light emission signal.

The manager terminal 50 may receive the fire alarm and the latent heat alarm of the image sensing unit 12 and may control the communication unit 54 to transmit the fire alarm and the latent heat alarm to the image server 30. More preferably, the manager terminal 50 may receive the composite image of the image sensing unit 12 and control the communication unit 54 to relay the composite image to the image storage unit 20 or 20 '.

The present invention can be variously modified according to the designer's intention as described above. That is, in the above description, the composite image of the image sensing unit 12 is directly transmitted to the image storage unit. However, in another embodiment, the administrator terminal 50 collectively receives the combined image, It may be relayed to the units 20 and 20 '.

The terminal control unit 51 controls the display 53 to display the location of a fire or a region where latent heat is generated and controls the communication unit 54 to transmit a fire occurrence signal to the video server 30. [

The image server 30 transmits a fire occurrence signal of the image sensing unit 12 and / or the administrator terminal 50 to the registered portable terminal 40.

The present invention includes the above-described configuration. Hereinafter, operations achieved through the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a fire detection method using a composite image according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a fire detection method using a composite image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an image processing for mixing and converting images captured by a real image camera 111 and a thermal image camera 112, (S20) of recognizing sparks and smoke by classifying each object included in the mixed image in the image processing step (S10); and recognizing the flame and smoke in the object recognition step (S20) A sensor interlocking step (S30) for judging a fire occurrence and a possibility of a fire in conjunction with a sensing signal of the sensor when smoke is detected; and a fire occurrence or fire occurrence if it is judged that the fire occurrence and the possibility of fire occur in the sensor interlocking step (S30) And an alarm and communication step (S40) for transmitting a fire incapable alarm.

In the image processing step S10, the real image and the thermal image captured by the real image camera 111 and the thermal image camera 112 are mixed, the mixed image is converted, To be stored in the units 20 and 20 '. The composite image stored in the image storage unit 20 or 20 'is transmitted to the portable terminal 40 registered in the image server 30 in real time or at predetermined time intervals.

The object recognizing step S20 recognizes flame and smoke by analyzing all the objects included in the synthesized image of the image processing step S10. Here, the image processing member 10 compares a composite image captured in real time with a previously captured composite image to determine whether a color corresponding to a temperature change photographed on an object or a column image that is not included in the previous image is different from the previous image And recognizes whether it is flame and / or smoke.

The thermal imaging camera 112 senses the temperatures of all the objects located within the area to be photographed, and outputs images photographed so as to have different colors for respective temperatures. Therefore, if a heated or cooled object is present in the composite image as compared with the previous image, it is photographed in a different color from the previous one. Therefore, the image processing member 10 recognizes flame or smoke by comparing the previous image (or the reference image obtained by photographing the normal state) with the current image.

 If the flame or smoke is recognized in the object recognizing step S20, the sensor interlocking step S30 may determine whether a fire has occurred by interlocking with the detection signals of the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132 installed in the corresponding area .

The alarm and communication step S40 is a step of transmitting a fire occurrence signal to the portable terminal 40 registered through the image server 30 when it is determined that a fire has occurred in the sensor interlocking step S30.

In the fire detection method using the composite image according to the present invention, the image processing step will be described with reference to FIG. 4, and the object recognition and communication step S40 will be described with reference to FIG.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an image processing step in a fire detection method using a composite image according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the image processing step includes an image capturing step S11 for capturing the same frame in the real image and the thermal image and converting the captured image into an image, and mixing the images captured in the image capturing step S11 An image converting step S13 of converting a plurality of synthesized images into a digital image signal in the image mixing step S12; (S14) for transmitting the synthesized image converted into the digital image signal.

The image capturing step S11 is a step in which the control unit 121 applies the real image of the real image camera 111 and the thermal image of the thermal image camera 112 to the image mixing unit 122, And capturing an image frame photographed in the same time zone. This is illustrated in the photograph attached to Fig.

6 is a photograph showing an example of a synthetic image in a fire detection method using a composite image according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 (a) is an image capturing an actual image, and FIG. 6 (b) is a capture image of a thermal image. The image mixing means 122 captures the real image and the thermal image captured at the same time and position in the real image and the thermal image applied to the control means 121, ).

6 (a) shows an image taken by the real image camera 111, and FIG. 6 (b) shows a thermal image taken by a thermal image camera. Referring to FIG. 6 (b), each object included in the image is displayed in different colors for different temperatures.

The image mixing step S12 is a step of controlling the image mixing means 122 by the control means 121 to combine the two captured images. Here, the image mixing means 122 combines the real image capture image and the thermal image capture image under the control of the control means 121, and synthesizes the synthesized image as a single image to apply to the control means 121. This is as shown in Fig. 6 (c). Referring to FIG. 6C, in the composite image, the real image image and the thermal image image are synthesized, and a thermal image of an object having a temperature different from that of the surrounding object is synthesized in the background of the real image image.

The image conversion step S13 is a step in which the control means 121 controls the image conversion means 123 to convert the mixed image into a digital image file in the image mixing step S12. The image conversion means 123 converts the composite image applied from the control means 121 into a digital image signal. That is, the image converting unit 123 converts the capture image of the real image and the thermal image of the analog system into a digital image file.

The image transmission step S14 is a step in which the control unit 121 transmits the synthesized image converted by the image conversion unit 123 to the administrator terminal 50 and / To the storage units 20 and 20 '.

The control means 121 transmits the synthesized image converted from the digital image format by the image conversion means 123 to the manager terminal 50 via the communication means 125. [ The manager terminal 50 transmits the composite image received from the image sensing unit 12 to the image storage unit 20 or 20 '.

Here, the image server 30 transmits the composite image stored in the image storage unit 20 or 20 'to the registered portable terminal 40. Accordingly, the user can confirm in real time whether or not a fire occurs at a specific location through the composite image provided by the image server 30. [

In the present invention, the object recognition step (S20), the sensor interlocking step (S30), and the communication step (S40) are sequentially performed after the above-described image processing step. Hereinafter, the entire process from the object recognition step to the communication step S40 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating details of an object recognizing step (S20) to a communication step (S40) in a fire detection method using a composite image according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the object recognition step S20 includes a pre-processing step S21 for determining an object added or changed in a previous image and a current image using an image filter, An object separating step (S22) of separating and adding the added or changed object and separating and recognizing objects of flame and smoke by applying the characteristics of flame and smoke, a flame judging step of judging whether or not the separated object in the object separating step (S22) A judgment step S23 and a smoke judgment step S24 for judging whether or not the object separated in the object separation step S22 is smoke.

In addition, the sensor interlocking step S30 checks the detection data of the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132 when one of flame and smoke is judged in the flame judgment step S23 and the smoke judgment step S24 .

The alarm and communication step S40 may include a fire occurrence determination step S41 for determining whether a fire has occurred by checking a sensing signal of the sensor in the sensor interlocking step S30, And a fire alarm step (S42) for sending a fire alarm signal to the administrator terminal (50) if it is determined that the fire alarm has occurred.

In addition, the communication step S40 may determine whether the temperature of the object included in the composite image is equal to or higher than the set temperature, if it has not been determined as flame and smoke after the sensor interlocking step S30 or after the object recognition step S20 And a latent heat alarm step S44 for warning the latent heat when it is determined that the set temperature is equal to or higher than the set temperature in the set temperature determination step S43.

The preprocessing step S21 may include a step of determining whether the composite image synthesized by the object recognizing unit 124 in the image mixing unit 122 is included in the reference image captured and synthesized at the previous time by the control unit 121 Is a step of comparing objects that do not exist. Here, the object recognizing means 124 recognizes that the synthesized image synthesized by the image mixing means 122 is included in the previous image (reference image taken in the normal environment) through the image filter under the control of the control means 121 Check for objects or colors.

The object separating step S22 is a step of separating the flame and the smoke object included in the composite image by the object recognizing means 124 under the control of the control means 121. [ If the composite image includes an object different from the previous image in the preprocessing step S21, the control means 121 controls the object recognition means 124 to separate objects not included in the previous image, And whether the object matches the characteristic of the smoke.

In the flame determination step S23, the control unit 121 determines whether an object set as a flame is included among the objects separated from the composite image.

In the smoke determination step S24, the control unit 121 determines whether an object set as smoke is included among the objects separated from the composite image.

Here, the characteristics of the object for the smoke and flame are stored in its own memory, and the control means 121 compares the characteristics of the object separated from the composite image with the stored smoke characteristic and flame characteristic to determine whether it is smoke or flame .

The characteristics of the smoke and flame are classified into the characteristics of the object in the thermal image, and the characteristic data that can be distinguished from other objects are stored in the memory of the control means 121. Therefore, the control means 121 can recognize the flame and / or smoke by comparing the stored characteristic data on flame and smoke in the thermal image and the object separated by the object recognition means 124. [

When the flame and / or smoke are detected in the flame determination step (S23) and the smoke determination step (S24), the control means (121) controls the flame sensor (131) and the smoke sensor The process of confirming the recognized flame and smoke through the composite image is performed. Otherwise, if no flame and smoke are detected in the flame determination step S23 and the smoke determination step S24, a set temperature step S43 for comparing the temperature and the set temperature in the separated object is performed.

The sensor interlocking step S30 is a step in which the control means 121 receives the detection signals of the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132 and confirms whether flame or smoke is generated. The flame sensor 131 senses whether a flame is generated in the room and applies the flame sensor 131 to the control unit 121. The smoke sensor 132 senses whether smoke is generated in the room and applies the sensed result to the control unit 121 . Accordingly, the control unit 121 receives the detection signal of the flame sensor 131 and the smoke sensor 132, determines whether the flame and smoke are generated, and proceeds to the alarm and communication step S40.

In the fire occurrence determination step S41, it is determined that the flame and / or smoke are generated in the flame and smoke recognition determination steps S23 and S24 by the control means 121. In the sensor interlocking step S30, If the same judgment result is obtained, it is judged that a fire has occurred.

The fire alarm step S42 is a step of transmitting an alarm signal including a unique code to the manager terminal 50 when it is determined that a fire has occurred in the fire occurrence determination step S41. Here, the manager terminal 50 controls the alarm unit 52 to issue a buzzer, confirms the corresponding position through the unique code of the image sensing unit 12 included in the fire alarm signal, and displays it on the display 53 Control to display the area where the fire occurred. In addition, the manager terminal 50 transmits a fire occurrence signal to the video server. Then, the video server 30 transmits a fire alarm signal to the registered portable terminal. The registered portable terminal may be a manager or a tenant or a head of the household where the fire occurred.

If it is determined that the smoke or flame object is not recognized from the composite image after the object recognizing step (S20) or the fire occurrence determining step (S41), and the fire is not generated, the control means (121) Proceed to step.

In the setting temperature determination step S43, the control unit 121 checks an object displayed in a different color from the previous image in the composite image, and compares the temperature of the object with the set temperature. The control means 121 determines whether the color of the object is similar to the color set at a temperature similar to or higher than the color of the set temperature.

If it is determined that the temperature of the object is higher than or equal to the set temperature in step S44, the control unit 121 determines that there is a possibility that the object can be developed into a fire, . Here, the control unit 121 transmits a latency alarm signal to the administrator terminal 50 together with a unique code. Accordingly, the manager terminal 50 issues a latent heat alarm, and outputs the location information of the area where the latent heat alarm is issued through the display 53 through the unique code.

Similarly, the manager terminal 50 transmits a fire alarm and a latent heat alarm signal to the video server 30 in the fire alarm step S42 and the latent heat alarm step S44. Therefore, the image server 30 transmits a fire alarm and a latent heat alarm signal to the registered portable terminal 40 so that a fire or latent heat alarm can be checked through the portable terminal 40 even if the administrator or the tenant is at a remote place do.

As described above, the present invention improves the accuracy of the fire alarm by detecting fire alarm by interlocking the synthesized image and the sensor, and recognizing the latent heat by the color change by the temperature by the thermal image, It is very effective in preventing fire.
