Fires are the most common disaster and early fire detection is of great importance to minimize the consequent damage. Simple sensors including smoke detectors are widely used for the purpose but they are able to sense fires only at close proximity. Recently, due to the rapid advances of relevant technologies, vision-based fire sensing has attracted growing attention. In this paper, a novel visual sensing technique to automatically detect fire is presented. The proposed technique consists of multiple steps of image processing: pixel-level, block-level, and frame level. At the first step, fire flame pixel candidates are selected based on their color values in YIQ space from the image of a camera which is installed as a vision sensor at a fire scene. At the second step, the dynamic parts of flames are extracted by comparing two consecutive images. These parts are then represented in regularly divided image blocks to reduce pixel-level detection error and simplify following processing. Finally, the temporal change of the detected blocks is analyzed to confirm the spread of fire. The proposed technique was tested using real fire images and it worked quite reliably.

본 논문에서는 화재에 의한 인적물적 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 조기에 화재를 영상처리 기법을 이용하여 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 인공조명으로 부터 화염을 판별하기 위해 화염의 고유한 색정보를 이용하여 화염후보영역을 판별하고 화염후보영역이 아닌 경우는 배경과 현재 프레임의 밝기차이와 채도를 측정하여 연기후보영역을 판별한다. 그러나 단순한 밝기 및 색체 정보만으로 화염이나 연기로 판별할 경우 오인식할 경우가 많아 화염 및 연기 후보영역에 대해 움직임을 측정한다. 각 후보영역에 대해 전형적인 움직임이 검출되면 최종적으로 화염인 경우는 활동성 정보를 이용하여 화염으로 판별하고 연기인 경우는 경계검출법을 적용하여 최종 연기 영역을 검출한다. 제안하는 방법에 대해 실제 CCTV 카메라의 영상신호에 적용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 효과적으로 화염과 연기를 동시에 검출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

커먼레일 분사 시스템이 장착된 대형 단기통 가시화 엔진에서 디젤과 JP-8 의 연소 및 배기 특성을 분석하였다. 두 연료 적용 시, 배기 배출 경향을 분석하기 위해 직접 화염가시화와 이색법을 적용하였다. 연소 과정은 직접 화염 가시화로부터 화염 강도 분석을 통해 이루어 졌다. 이색법 결과는 화염 온도 및 KL 값을 도출하여 분석을 하였다. 직접 화염 가시화 결과, JP-8 연소 시, 점화 지연 기간이 길며, 디젤 연소에 비해 화염이 빠르게 소멸되는 것을 확인하였다. 화염 강도 분석을 통해 디젤 연소의 경우, 연소 전 기간에 걸쳐 높은 화염 강도 수준을 유지하며 화염 지속 기간이 긴 것을 알 수 있었다. 이색법 결과를 통해, JP-8 연소의 경우, 국부적으로 고온의 화염 면이 더 많이 분포하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 $NO_x$가 더 많이 배출된 경향을 설명해준다. 또한 KL 치 분석 결과, JP-8 연소 시 낮은 수준의 KL 값이 더 고르게 분포하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 JP-8 연소 시 스모크 가 덜 배출된 결과를 뒷받침 해준다.

An experiment using high preheated and swirled air in the coaxial diffusion flame burner was carried out in order to decrease NOx emission and improve the thermal efficiency. $N_2$ gas was used for diluent and propane was utilized for fuel. Combustion using high preheated air has two remarkable characteristics ; (1) low NOx emission with increasing dilution level, (2) high thermal efficiency in the furnace. Also, swirled air can mix fuel and oxidizer well in condition of diffusion flme and maintain the stable combustion. The color of flame changes from yellow to blue green according to increasing the dilution level of mixture gas. NO emission decreased with increasing dilution level and the swirl number.

This experiment is performed to investigate the effects of the emulsion on the flame temperature and soot formation in a diesel engine. The two-color method is used to measure the flame temperature for combustion of emulsified diesel in the Rapid Compression and Expansion Machine(RCEM). The concentration of soot is estimated via calculation of the KL factor. The solenoid valve, elecronic controller and needle lift sensor are used to control the exact injection timing and duration under various operating conditions. According to the results the soot concentration is reduced with the increasing W/O while the temperature reduced. The pressure data and the flame images captured by a high speed camera show that the ignition delay of emulsified diesel increase the duration of premixed combustion. The sizes of water drops are measured to be about 10${\mu}m$ by a microscope.

The soot yield is studied by a premixed propane-oxygen-inert gas combustion in a specially designed disk-type constant-volume combustion chamber to investigate the effect of turbulence on soot formation. Premixtures are simultaneously ignited by eight spark plugs located on the circumference of chamber at 45 degree intervals in order to observe the soot formation under high pressures and high temperatures. The eight flames converged compress the end gases to a high pressure. The laser schlieren and direct flame photographs for observation field with 10 mm in diameter are taken to examine into the behaviors of flame front and gas flow in laminar and turbulent combustion. The soot volume fraction in the chamber center during the final stage of combustion at the highest pressure is measured by the in situ laser extinction technique and simultaneously the corresponding burnt gas temperature by the two-color pyrometry method. It is found that the soot yield of turbulent combustion decreases in comparison with that of laminar combustion because the burnt gas temperature increases with the drop of heat loss.

A criterion for evaluation of burners has changed recently, and the environmental problems are raised as a global issue. Burners with higher thermal efficiency and lower oxygen in the exhaust gas, evaluated better. To comply with environmental regulations, burners must satisfy the $NO_x$ and CO regulation. Consequently. 'good burner' means one whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_x$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop a feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_x$ and CO. This paper describes the development of a real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose the combustion states, such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in the quantitative sense. In this paper, it was proposed on the flame diagnosis technique of burner using Neuro- Fuzzy algorithm. This study focuses on the relation of the color of the flame and the state of combustion. Neuro- Fuzzy learning algorithm is used in obtaining the fuzzy membership function and rules. Using the constructed inference algorithm, the amount of $NO_x$ and CO of the combustion gas was successfully inferred.

The objective of this study was to understand the combined effect of shading treatment and harvest time on pungency, ascorbic acid content, market-quality pepper yield, and photosynthetic activity in a yellow 'Star Flame' and 'Fire Flame' F1 hybrid pepper cultivar (Capsicum annuum). Plants were cultivated in a greenhouse under white, red, and green shading nets and compared to those grown under unshaded control conditions. The ascorbic acid and pungency parameters were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatographic methods. Ascorbic acid, a compound of high nutritive value in pepper, was highest in fruits gathered during the first summer harvest in both hybrids. The ascorbic acid content was found to be further increased in fruits from plants grown under white net shading in both 'Star Flame' and 'Fire Flame'. Total capsaicinoid contents in 'Star Flame' were influenced by the interaction of shading treatment and harvest time (p = 0.004), with the lowest amounts ($241.2-251.5mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ fresh weight) resulting from white and red shading treatments at the early autumn harvest. In 'Fire Flame', both shading treatment (p = 0.009) and harvest time (p < 0.001) affected total capsaicinoid contents. We observed significantly higher total capsaicinoid contents in control fruits compared to that resulting from red and green shading treatments at the second harvest, and that resulting from red shading treatment at the third harvest. Analysis of photosynthetic activity revealed a significant and negative correlation between Fv/Fm values and total capsaicinoid contents in both hybrids (p < 0.001). Based on the obtained results, the harvest of peppers during summer should be promoted to produce fruits with high pungency.

This study investigates the dyeability and fastness of jacquard fabric for blind using low-melting flame retardant polyester. Two types of jacquard fabric were prepared with a low-melting flame retardant polyester and regular polyester. The low-melting flame retardant polyester has a sheath and a core. The core consists of flame retardant polyester and the sheath consists of low-melting polyester. Disperse red 50 (DR 50), disperse blue 56 (DB 56), disperse yellow (DY 54) of E-type dyes and disperse 92 (DR 92), disperse blue 60 (DB 60), disperse yellow (DY 79) of S-type dyes were used and dyed on jacquard fabrics dependent of dyeing temperature and time. The fastness, dye exhaustion, color strength (K/S value), and colorimetric properties of jacquard fabrics were evaluated. The dyeability of S-type dyes were higher than E-type dyes. The experiments indicated optimum dyeability that the dyeing temperature was $110^{\circ}C$ for E-type dyes and $120^{\circ}C$ for S-type dyes for 40 minutes. The fastness to washing and light were excellent at a 4-5 grade.
