Wai Cheong Tam, Eugene Yujun Fu, Amy E. Mensch, Anthony P. Hamins, Christina Yu, Grace Ngai, Hong va Leong
This paper presents a study to examine the potential use of machine learning models to build a real-time detection algorithm for prevention of unattended cooking fires. 16 sets of time- dependent sensor signals were obtained from 60 normal/ignition cooking

Thin Filament Pyrometry Field Measurements in a Medium-Scale Pool Fire.

September 13, 2019

Zhigang Wang, Andy Tam, Jian Chen, Ki Y. Lee, Anthony Hamins
This paper presents the development of a thin filament pyrometry method to characterize the time- varying temperature field in a medium-scale pool fire in a quiescent environment. A digital camera with optical filters and zoom lens was used to record the
