  • Patent number: 4737844
    Abstract: A method for generating real-time control parameters by a video camera for smoke-generating combustion reactions is disclosed. In accordance with the method, a video camera is used for obtaining a video signal, which is digitized and filtered temporally and spatially. The digitized video signal is divided on the basis of its signal level distribution into signal subareas to reduce the quantity of processed information. The picture elements belonging to the same subarea are combined into contiguous image areas representing a certain signal level, the subareas are combined into an integrated image, subsequent images are averaged to eliminate random disturbance, and the averaged image is displayed on a display device. This method facilitates the real-time monitoring of a combustion process.
