Description
Summary:In response to the pressing need for long-range, non-contact detection in hazardous gas leakage monitoring within chemical industrial parks, this study proposes a gas detection algorithm based on an infrared radiation physical model that utilizes dual-band infrared radiation background reconstruction. The proposed method addresses the issues of the existing detection methods’ lack of physical model support. First, appropriate filter wavelength ranges are selected based on the absorption spectral characteristics of the target gas. Subsequently, a physical model incorporating atmospheric attenuation, background radiation, and gas absorption properties is established based on gas radiative transfer theory. The non-absorption band data are then employed to reconstruct the theoretical background radiation of the absorption band. Furthermore, leveraging the synergistic observation advantages of a dual-band infrared imaging system, gas morphology identification is achieved by inverting the difference between the theoretical background and the actual measured values in the absorption band. Experimental results demonstrate that this method enables gas morphology detection through background reconstruction without requiring pre-collected gas-free background images. By implementing dual-band infrared radiation background reconstruction, this study achieves effective gas detection, providing a reliable technical approach for real-time monitoring and early warning of industrial gas leaks. The proposed algorithm enhances detection capabilities, offering significant potential for applications in industrial safety and environmental monitoring.
