Gas leakage is one of the hazards that can cause major incidents to human injuries, fires as well as high impact on economic. To avoid such situation, a preventive inspection is paramount important. Since gas leakage is unseen by naked eyes due to the energy that are emitted by gas are too small to simulate by eyes, thermal imaging technology is used to detect and evaluate the severity level of the leakage. This paper presents a method for detecting gas leak using infrared image analysis. Through an image filtering technique, the target region of interests is enhanced and segmented to extract the leaky regions. The image feature is extracted to identify the leakage. From the experimental result, it shows that this system is effective in detecting the presence of gas leakage in real industrial problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
