A deck assembly is formed of a plurality of deck boards spanning across a second of joist members to provide structural support between the joist members. Each deck board includes a base frame with an upper panel having an upper supporting surface and a plurality of support legs extending downwardly from the upper panel in engagement with the joist members to support the upper panel spaced above the joist members. Each deck board also has one or more channels formed in the upper panel so as to define an elongate passage which is recessed downwardly relative to the upper panel and which is open at a top side at the upper supporting surface of the upper panel to receive an elongated flexible heating member within the channels of the deck boards. Panels of finishing material on the upper supporting surfaces span over the heating member.

The present invention relates to a multi-functional convection electric heater, comprising: a heating structure, which comprises a ceramic tubular device and a convection device, used to supply a heating source, and the convection device is connected with the ceramic tubular device, and is used to receive the heat supplied from the ceramic tubular device, and performs subsequent heating in a convection manner; a CMOS sensing device, which is used to capture a surrounding environment to obtain and output a corresponding surrounding environment image; and a homomorphic filtering device, which is connected with the CMOS sensing device, and is used to receive the surrounding environment image, and performs homomorphic filtering to obtain a corresponding homomorphic filtering image, wherein as the noise amplitude of the surrounding environment image gets larger, the intensity of performing the homomorphic filtering will be increased. The present invention enriches the electronic functions of the convection electric heater.
