Descripción
Sumario:We have investigated the capabilities of a customasynchronous spiking image sensor operating in the NearInfrared band to study flame radiation emissions, monitortheir transient activity, and detect their presence. Asynchronoussensors have inherent capabilities, i.e., good temporal resolution,high dynamic range, and low data redundancy. This makesthem competitive against infrared (IR) cameras and CMOSframe-based NIR imagers. In this paper, we analyze, discuss,and compare the experimental data measured with our sensoragainst results obtained with conventional devices. A set ofmeasurements have been taken to study the flame emissionlevels and their transient variations. Moreover, a flame detectionalgorithm, adapted to our sensor asynchronous outputs, has beendeveloped. Results show that asynchronous spiking sensors havean excellent potential for flame analysis and monitoring.
