Abstract
A method for measuring and controlling flame quality in real-time, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring a plurality of flame images in a first field of view; acquiring a plurality of flame images in a second field of view; processing the acquired plurality of flame images of said first and second fields of view to determine an overall flame quality parameter; and comparing the overall flame quality parameter to a tolerance range. In other aspects, a system for measuring and controlling flame quality in real-time and a non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) storing instructions configured to cause a computing system to measure and control flame quality in real-time are provided.
