  • Patent number: 8159539
    Abstract: A smoke detecting method and system are provided. The smoke detecting method and system capture a plurality of images; determine whether a moving object exists in the plurality of images; select the images having the moving object to be analyzed; analyze whether the moving object is moving toward a specific direction and a displacement of a base point of the moving object; and determine the moving object as a smoke when the moving object is moving toward the specific direction and the displacement is less than a threshold value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2012
    Assignee: Industrial Technology Research Institute

  • Publication number: 20080136934
    Abstract: A flame detecting method is provided. The method comprises steps of capturing a video segment for a object; analyzing if an image of the object is moving; analyzing at least one of a color model and a flickering frequency of the moving object; comparing analyzed results obtained from the analyzing steps to a flame feature; and determining if the object is a flame.

  • Publication number: 20080137906
    Abstract: A smoke detecting method is provided. The smoke detecting method includes steps of (a) capturing a video segment for a object and a background; (b) analyzing if an image of the object is moving; (c) analyzing a chrominance variance of the moving object with a corresponding background; (d) analyzing at least one of an edge blur of the image of the background and a flickering frequency of the moving object with its corresponding background; (e) comparing analyzed results obtained from the steps (b)-(d) to a smoke feature; and (f) determining if the moving object is a smoke.

  • Publication number: 20050245188
    Abstract: A biological safety cabinet comprises a cabinet body, an experiment chamber, a blower, and a soft material chamber. The cabinet body is cuboid and comprises a first elongated side. The experiment chamber is disposed in the cabinet body. The blower impels air in a direction parallel to the first elongated side. The soft material chamber is connected to the blower, wherein air flows from the blower through the soft material chamber and into the experiment chamber.
