US 11,598,716 B2 · Gas image device and image acquisition method

Abstract

This gas imaging device makes it possible to photograph gas without placing a burden on a user while enhancing the evidential reliability of imaging results. This gas imaging device comprises: an infrared imaging section for imaging, under a predetermined first photography condition, infrared radiation from a given area from which gas could leak; an image processing section for generating an image of the given area on the basis of output results from the infrared imaging section; and a control section for, on the basis of vicinity information for the given area and the output results of the infrared imaging section, calculating a reliability indicating whether the first photography condition is suitable for photography of the gas and storing an image of the given area in a storage section in association with at least one from among the reliability and the vicinity information.

Dependent claims

A gas imaging device, comprising:

an infrared imager configured to image infrared rays from a target area where gas possibly leaks, using a first capturing condition determined in advance;
a hardware processor configured to generate an image of the target area based on an output result from the infrared imager;
and to calculate a reliability degree that indicates whether the first capturing condition is suitable for capturing an image of the gas based on peripheral information of the target area and the output result from the infrared imaging section and to control a storage device to store the image of the target area in association with at least one of the reliability degree and the peripheral information, and to cause a display device to display a second capturing condition to increase the reliability degree.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
