The cargo fire monitoring system (CFMS) for the visualisation of fire events in aircraft cargo holds
The novel CFMS concept is capable to detect fires by means of a computer-based imaging system. It is able to detect both smouldering and open fire sources, even when the fire source is hidden, e.g. behind containers and if the fire produces only small amounts of smoke. From these first experiments it can be expected that the CFMS system can become a reliable fire detection tool, which provides the possibility to visually inspect the monitored compartment as an add-on, both to verify a fire alarrn or, in the non-firecase, to serve e.g. as monitoring equipment. The conducted experiments clearly demonstrate that a 'naked eye' detection of fire signatures, e.g. smoke, from the captured sequences is very failure prone. This new concept will lead to a significant improvement in the detection and observation of cargo compartment fires and the results encourage further studies.
