Forest fire early-warning system and method based on infrared thermal imaging technology

A forest fire alarm system based on infrared thermal imaging technology comprising:

• an infrared camera located within a monitored area for monitoring and early fire warning in a forest, the infrared camera configured to capture infrared thermal images of said monitored area, and to transmit infrared thermal analog signals which contain temperature measurement values T relating to the infrared thermal images of the monitored area, and wherein the infrared camera includes a frontal temperature measurement and alarm module configured to calculate, based on changes of environmental temperature parameters including at least one of distance, temperature difference and alternate seasons, an alarm temperature value Talarm, the frontal temperature measurement and alarm module configured to interpret the changes using a built-in temperature monitoring mathematical model, and to transmit excessive temperature alarm signals when there is an emergence of abnormality;
• a video conversion device connected to the infrared camera configured to transform the infrared thermal image analog signals transmitted by the infrared camera into infrared digital signals for standard network transmission, and to receive and convert the excessive temperature alarm signals outputted from the infrared camera into excessive temperature alarm digital signals;
• and
• a monitoring computer configured to generate and output control signals in order to control the infrared camera, and to receive, analyze and process the infrared digital signals to ascertain a location in the monitored area that triggered an infrared camera alarm based on the excessive temperature alarm digital signals.
