Abstract
Danieli Corus supplies tailor-made solutions for the global steel industry. Cameras are used in tuyeres of blast furnaces to detect physical aspects and irregularities. No operator could monitor those videos all day, which is why video analyses are needed. A program is written to analyse a test video and give information about the temperature, the injection of pulverized coal and the movement of rocks. The mathematical background of these calculations is presented, which depend on the transport of light from the blast furnace to the camera through the tuyere. Also the implementation of the calculations can be found. The results are interpreted and discussed and further improvements are suggested.
