Patent

CA 2249216

The present invention combines real-time infrared (IR) images (3 6) of a fire (11) taken at the time of the fire, with digital images of the area where the fire rages, taken at some previous time. The two types of images are registered and the IR images are superimposed upon the digital images, thereby providing the fire-fighting forces with information regarding the types of objects (e.g. houses (20), trees (22), roads (24), etc.) which lie in the path of the fire. A system is provided which includes a viewing unit and a ground station (44). The viewing unit is mounted on an airborne vehicle (42), an unmanned airborne vehicle (40), or a fire watch tower, and includes a temperature sensitive sensor, such as an IR-sensor, for measuring the hot areas of the scene.

L'invention combine des images (36) infrarouges (IR) en temps réel d'un incendie (11) prises au moment de l'incendie, avec des images numériques de la zone dans laquelle l'incendie s'est développé, prises précédemment. Les deux types d'images sont enregistrées et les images IR sont superposées sur les images numériques, ce qui permet aux forces de combat contre l'incendie d'obtenir des renseignements concernant les types d'objets, par exemple, des maisons (20), des arbres (22), des routes (24), situés sur le trajet de l'incendie. Le système comprend une unité de visualisation et une station au sol (44). L'unité de visualisation est montée sur un véhicule aérien (42), sur un véhicule aérien téléguidé (40) ou sur une tour de guet contre les incendies, et comprend au moins un capteur de température, tel qu'un détecteur infrarouge, afin de mesurer les zones présentant des chaleurs élevées.
