Infrared (IR) Sensors applied to Fire detection and to people’s safety

Abstract

The IR Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory – LIR-UC3M of Universidad Carlos III, has developed IR multi and hyper spectral analysis techniques for passive (no emitters) and reliable (low false alarm rate) threat sensing. Specifically, they are based on sensors development and spectral processing for classifying the scene to optimize the discrimination of threats from backgrounds, decoys or other spurious emitting sources, for a dramatic decrease of false alarm rate.
