The goal of the METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF SPATIAL AREAS as a continuation of The Spatial Environmental Control Unit is a method of logging multi-spectral, multi-pixel infrared radiation data of objects in a spatial area for the analysis and control of heat transfer dynamics in the spatial area that is responsive to feedback for controlling the thermal conditions in the spatial area. The METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF SPATIAL AREAS further makes the current norm of an absolute temperature control approach for thermal control and human comfort obsolete. Ambient environmental conditions and user preference variables makes the current approach to thermal control time consuming, inaccurate and tedious. The Spatial Environmental Control Unit as one of our foundation patents disclosed the physical components make thermal control and analysis more responsive and user friendly. The METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF SPATIAL AREAS makes the control and analysis of the thermal properties of the spatial area more intuitive by providing visual images on any compatible device simplifying the understanding of the dynamics of heat transfer in an environment. Tedium and frustration become understanding and empowerment. This method enables gaining knowledge and using tools for analysis, allowing a user to redesign his environment by correcting ambient conditions and improving the operation of the thermal conditioning equipment. The end result is a better thermal environment with higher energy efficiency.

Methods and systems for monitoring an industrial process are disclosed. Some aspects of the system arrange multiple imaging sensors to image machinery associated with an industrial process. Regions of interest within images acquired by the multiple imaging sensors may be monitored for abnormal thermal conditions, and alerts generated as needed. Alerts may also be generated if temperatures within a region of interest exceed thresholds associated with that region of interest. Each region of interest may be independently monitored and have individualized alerting thresholds. In some aspects, images from the multiple imaging sensors may be stitched together, with the regions of interest based on the stitched image. In other aspects, regions of interest within images from separate imaging sensors may be linked together so as to share at least common alerting thresholds.

A vent hood device that is configured to monitor a stove, the vent hood device including, a camera, an infrared sensor that is configured to detect heat from a surface of the stove, and a processor that is configured to receive, from the infrared sensor, temperature data that indicates heat detected from the surface of the stove, receive, from the camera, video data captured by the camera, determine, based on the temperature data and the video data, that an adult is not within a field of view of the camera and the heat detected from the surface of the stove satisfies a heat criteria, and in response to determining that an adult is not within the field of view of the camera and the heat detected from the surface of the stove satisfies the heat criteria, provide an alert that indicates that the stove is unattended.

A controller converts a detection result of an infrared sensor into overall thermal image data representing a temperature distribution within an infrared detection range of the infrared sensor, calculates, based on the overall thermal image data, a floor area of an air-conditioned space, and obtains, based on the overall thermal image data, floor thermal image data including a plurality of element data items each including coordinates within the floor area and a floor temperature within the floor area associated with the coordinates. The controller determines the presence or absence of a floor heating device in the air-conditioned space. When the controller determines the presence of the floor heating device, the controller determines, based on data that is included in the floor thermal image data and corresponds to an installation region of the floor heating device, an operation state of the floor heating device.
