Leakage Detection (VMD)HERNIS Leakage Detection combines remote surveillance, image analysis and digital storage in one system. Typical applications are smoke detection and oil leakage detection, essential to fire outbreak prevention. The leakage detection system is offered as an optional feature to the HERNIS CCTV systems. By pointing a CCTV camera to a critical area such as the fuel oil pump on the main or auxiliary engine, the video motion detection system will detect any possible leakages. The HERNIS Leakage Detection system revolutionizes fire safety on board, since the fire itself does not trigger the alarm, but instead a sophisticated mathematical analysis of images interprets potentially hazardous events, for instance oil spill on a hot surface or smoke or gas leakages barely visible to the human eye. (See video from engine room, where mist is detected and highlighted in the video as well as on the event list) To avoid false alarms the system has a detailed masking feature defining areas that are not to be analysed for movements or change in colour. The system also offers selection of max/min object size, definition of direction of movement as well as the option of setting horizontal and vertical planes in the image. The HERNIS Leakage Detection systems are delivered in cooperation with Detec. Shortly after the introduction of the new feature to the HERNIS CCTV systems, HERNIS received orders for 4 LNG-carriers, one super-yacht and one offshore installation, showing that this automatic alarm system is warmly welcomed by the market.
