The Application Of Thermal Imaging In Emergency Rescue During The Golden Rescue Time
In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, life often seems particularly fragile. What we can do is to do our best to save ourselves and help and support others. Just like in this accident, a couple Zhang Feng and Su Ying from Xinyang, Henan, also experienced the capsizing of the cruise ship. In the moment of shock, the young man staged a real-life version of "Titanic". After saving his girlfriend and three others, he floated on the sea for more than 17 hours before being rescued.
In the face of death, it is almost impossible to give up the opportunity to survive and successfully save yourself again and again, but he did it. At the moment of life and death, he chose to make himself kind. Heroes are not necessarily tall and mighty in armor. They are around us. Kindness is harder than intelligence. Intelligence is a gift, and kindness is a choice. May we always remain warm and kind.
Families of the victims paid tribute at the dock
This incident allowed us to witness many touching deeds, but what we should do most is to use the golden rescue time after the accident to find those lives that could have survived in a short time. Instead of letting those who are waiting for rescue to extinguish their last glimmer of hope in the fear of death for some reason. In terms of rescue, we still need to do a lot.
Auxiliary equipment is very important during the golden rescue time
For maritime rescue, manpower is actually limited. We can only rely on large-scale search and location determination of modern equipment, such as sonar, radar, high-power communication equipment, etc., and these equipment require large hulls as carriers for search and rescue activities. But in fact, we all know that large ships are generally slow and not suitable for large-scale search during golden time. They can only play the role of rear supply. This is why the maritime search and rescue activities we see are mainly small and medium-sized boats.
Sonar can only search downward at sea, which is more suitable for salvaging sunken ships
And among them, there is a high-tech product that plays a vital role in the development prospects of marine search and rescue-infrared technology products. During the golden rescue time, as long as a person is still alive, whether it is day or night, the infrared product can separate people and the environment from the perspective of the infrared product, and prevent the occurrence of missed rescue, mistaken rescue and other human regrets to the greatest extent.
Those who met Zhang Feng in the accident were undoubtedly lucky, but those who did not meet him may gradually freeze in the endless ocean. In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, we should not just hope for luck, but should try our best to save those who have the hope of survival under limited search and rescue conditions, and race against time with the god of death. A good auxiliary equipment can often buy us more time, and infrared technology products are like this.
Advantages of infrared thermal imaging technology products in maritime emergency rescue
The large-scale application of thermal imaging products makes people who have been working at sea for a long time like having clairvoyance. Whether it is day or night, whether it is sunny or rainy, they can always get the best imaging observation effect.
Limitations of human eyes and visible light cameras
In case of night, fog or smoke, we can only use starlight, moonlight and other artificial light to generate images. If the amount of light is insufficient, it is difficult to see the object clearly. Infrared thermal imaging technology products are not affected by visible light and bad weather.
Whether on land or in water, the temperature of the human body is higher than the environment, which is easy to distinguish under infrared thermal imaging
Imaging without light: infrared thermal imagers are used for rescue operations
The heat signals of people, ships, cruise docks, docks, piles and other things found by maritime thermal imagers are usually higher in contrast at night than during the day. As long as there is a slight temperature difference between the target and its background, the observer can easily find it.
Supplement and expand the role of radar echoes
Although radar has a wide range of applications, radar systems are generally unable to detect the structure of objects, ships and floating objects in the water. Infrared thermal imagers can be used to verify radar echoes, find objects that radar may miss, and show you things that plotters cannot show.
24-hour safety response function
The simple addition of an infrared thermal imager will greatly improve the total time and overall efficiency of the mission, and can save lives and ensure the safety of the waterway in various difficult environments without damaging the ship or the crew on board.
Rescue operations
Infrared thermal imagers are widely used in maritime rescue operations around the world. When someone falls into the water, the head of the person is often the only visible part of the body. Because the head emits much more heat than water, the head is clearly visible. This effect can be achieved during the day and night, thus truly achieving a 24-hour all-weather response.
UAVs and infrared thermal imagers are used with ships for search and rescue operations
For the victims, they can't wait. At the critical moment of life and death, every second counts. It is a blessing if technology and the best equipment can bring the most beautiful smile.
