摘要

This study presents a robust vision-based monitoring approach for detecting flame combustion states in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) afterburners. Industrial SOFC systems face significant challenges in flame state detection due to the inherent instability of combustion processes and fluctuating gas flow rates. To address these issues and enhance monitoring reliability, we introduce FlameNet-MSF, an innovative deep learning framework that integrates multi-scale feature fusion. The architecture adopts a dual-branch design: a coarse-grained branch to extract global flame characteristics and a fine-grained branch to capture local pattern details. These complementary features are adaptively fused through a dedicated fusion module, enabling accurate flame state monitoring under complex operating conditions. Extensive experiments conducted on industrial SOFC datasets demonstrate the superior performance of FlameNet-MSF, achieving an overall classification accuracy of 99.21%, with recognition accuracies exceeding 96.9% across all three flame states. Furthermore, the framework supports real-time processing with a latency of just 29.3 ms per frame. Cross-dataset validation and ablation studies further validate the robustness and generalization capabilities of the proposed method. By providing a reliable and practical solution for automated flame monitoring, the FlameNet-MSF framework contributes to improved combustion efficiency and operational safety in industrial SOFC applications.
