  • Publication number: 20250209808
    Abstract: A flame detection system is disclosed. The flame detection system comprises one or more sensors to detect one or more targets within a field of view (FOV). Further, at least one imaging device is installed based on a distance between one or more sensors, one or more targets, and the FOV. The at least one imaging device is configured to capture one or more real time images of one or more targets within the FOV. Further, one or more processors are communicatively coupled to one or more sensors and at least one imaging device. The one or more processors are configured to receive one or more real time images, compare one or more real time images with at least one reference image and determine a misalignment information, obstacle information, or misalignment and obstacle information within the FOV based at least on comparison.

  • Publication number: 20250200976
    Abstract: An imaging-based flame detection system is disclosed. The imaging-based flame detection system comprises at least one image capturing device to capture one or more images in a field of view (FOV). Each of the one or more images comprises an array of pixels. Further, one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to the at least one image capturing device and configured to analyze the FOV of captured one or more images. Further, the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to at least one image capturing device and one or more sensors. The one or more processors are configured to receive the one or more captured images; associate at least a portion of the array of pixels with a corresponding one or more zones; associate the corresponding one or more zones with a criticality level and determine a status based at least on the analyzed FOV and the criticality level.

  • Patent number: 11935382
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for configuring a flame detection apparatus using flame detecting components are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may comprise: a controller component and at least one flame detecting component in electronic communication with the controller component. The flame detecting component may be configured to detect infrared radiation associated with a fire in an environment and receive and transmit communication signals. In response to detecting a first infrared control (IR) signal, the flame detecting component may provide an indication of the first IR control signal to the controller component.

  • Patent number: 11138852
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for communicating data from a flame detector. A method may comprise detecting, by the flame detector, data related to a fire event; communicating, by the flame detector, the fire event data to a wireless device; forwarding, by the wireless device, the fire event data to a cloud database; accessing the fire event data, via the cloud database, by a central server controlled by an operator of the flame detector; analyzing, by the central server, the fire event data; automatically generating a report based on the analysis of the fire event data, by the central server; and communicating the generated report to a customer employing the flame detector.
