Thermogram of fire
Fire. Thermogram of a fire during research into new fire-detection techniques. Temperature is colour-coded, running from white (hottest) to blue (coolest). This image shows the chaotic structure of fire, with dense hot spots separated by cooler gullies. Such features make flames unpredictable and difficult to model, but are the basis of new detection systems. These measure temperature fluctuations and smoke density and use " fuzzy logic" to distinguish uncontrolled fires from flashing lights and even candles. This reduces false alarms.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing thermogram of fire, captured during groundbreaking research into innovative fire-detection techniques. The image reveals the temperature distribution through a color-coded scheme, ranging from white (representing the hottest areas) to blue (indicating cooler regions). It vividly portrays the intricate and chaotic structure of flames, characterized by dense hot spots interspersed with cooler gullies. The unpredictability and complexity of these features pose challenges for modeling fires accurately. However, they serve as the foundation for developing cutting-edge detection systems. These advanced systems leverage temperature fluctuations and smoke density measurements while employing "fuzzy logic" algorithms to differentiate uncontrolled fires from other sources such as flashing lights or even candles. This intelligent approach significantly reduces false alarms, enhancing safety measures. The research depicted in this photograph is part of an ongoing project for the Cerberus AlgoRex system by Siemens AG, a renowned Swiss-based company specializing in scientific advancements related to safety technology. By harnessing infrared photography and thermography techniques, scientists are able to capture heat patterns that provide valuable insights into fire behavior. This visually stunning image not only highlights the remarkable scientific progress made in understanding fires but also emphasizes the vital role played by technological innovations in safeguarding lives and property against potential hazards.
