Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a fire disaster monitoring method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining an infrared image that is obtained through photoshooting a to-be-monitored area by an infrared detection apparatus located on an aerostat, where different colors displayed in the infrared image correspond to different temperatures; determining, according to the colors displayed in the infrared image, whether a difference between temperatures corresponding to adjacent areas in the infrared image is greater than a predetermined threshold; and if it is determined that the difference between the temperatures corresponding to the adjacent areas is greater than the predetermined threshold, sending fire disaster alarm information to a receiving device, where the fire disaster alarm information is used to indicate that a fire disaster occurs in the to-be-monitored area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined semiconductor gas sensor, this sensor is constituted by combining two portions, each of the portions is made of a different gas sensitive material, their resistance exhibit different variation with the variation of the density of a specific gas, a detecting signal is led out from the junction of the two portion. Because of the mutual compensation and propagation effect of the two portions of the above mentioned gas sensor, the stability and/or sensitivity as well as the stability to temperature and humidity and the initial relaxation time can be improved. Gas sensors of different characteristics can be obtained by different combinations of two different gas sensitive materials selected according to need.
