Abstract
A burner monitoring system in which an array of burners are viewed by a video camera adapted to produce a video signal representing the infrared image of the burner array. The video processing electronics processes the video signal to determine which of the burners is lit and which of the burners is unlit by the presence or absence of hot spots in the infrared image. The video processing electronics generates a video signal which is applied to a cathode ray tube device to generate a visual indication for each of the burners indicating the lit or unlit condition of each of the burners.
