Steam Leak Detection Method of Plant Pipeline by using Analysis of Leakage Diffusion and Leakage Location Rate of Change

Recently, leakage detection and leakage location estimation methods using camera images have been studied as a method or monitoring steam leakage. However, the conventional leakage detection methods employing camera images are based on the differences in the captured images. These methods incorrectly detect all moving objects are detected as leakages. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a leakage detection method that utilizes both the leakage area and the estimated leakage location obtained by a conventional method. The proposed method performs leakage diffusion and leakage location rate of change analysis, thereby identifying only the actual leakage. Finally, the proposed method is verified experimentally.
