Patent ID: 7656534

Claim:
System for automatic detection of forest fires through optic spectroscopy characterized in that it comprises an optical system for the detection of the electromagnetic radiation originated from the observed horizon; composed of a mirror ( 1 ) with the ability to make a rotation of 360° and with azimuth adjustment, which redirects the light collected from the horizon, mounted over the main lens of a telescope ( 2 ) with a modified eyepiece so that the light gathered is transmitted by means of an optical fiber ( 3 ); a spectrometer for carrying out the atmospheric chemical analysis from the electromagnetic radiation detected ( 4 ); an optical fiber ( 3 ) for the optical connection between the spectrometer and the optical detection system; an autonomous system for the analysis of the electromagnetic radiation spectra, for identification of smoke originated from fires, by means of comparison between the spectra measured at the moment and the reference spectra ( 5 ) and a system to determine the distance where the smoke is, by focusing the telescope at the location in the horizon where the intensity of the smoke signal is greatest.
