METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF A HEAT SOURCE PARTICULARLY OF A FOREST FIRE IN A CONTROLLED ZONE, AND SYSTEM FOR THE APPLICATION OF THIS METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a system for detecting sources of heat, comprising a certain number of watching stations distributed within the area to be watched, comprising an infrared radiation detector located at a level above the area to be watched and connected to a motor for imparting to the detector a periodic angular, step-by-step motion, and a device for logic processing of the information received by the detector and for transmission through the telephone link, a central station being equipped with a data processing device including a memory in which the known sources of heat of the area to be watched are recorded or entered.
