Abstract
A heat source detection system includes an infrared light detector, a visible light detector, and a processing unit. The processing unit performs an operation according to at least one instruction, wherein the operation includes steps of: acquiring an infrared light image from the infrared light detector; identifying at least a heat source target according to at least one heat source edge in the infrared light image; determining whether at least one preset condition occurs in the at least one heat source target; and activating the visible light detector when the at least preset condition occurs in the at least one heat source target.
Claims19
A heat source detection system, comprising:
- at least one infrared light detector;
- at least one visible light detector;
- and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit performs an operation according to at least one instruction, and the operation includes the steps of:
- acquiring an infrared light image from the at least one infrared light detector;
- identifying at least one heat source target based on at least one heat source edge in the infrared image;
- determining whether at least one preset condition occurs in the at least one heat source target;
- wherein the at least one preset condition includes:
- the at least one heat source edge of the at least one heat source target is displaced, the at least one heat source edge of the at least one heat source target is deformed, a temperature of the at least one heat source target changes drastically, a temperature of the at least one heat source target exceeds a threshold;
- and
- activating the at least one visible light detector when the at least one preset condition occurs in the at least one heat source target.
