Fire detection using Laser Range Finder.
is there anyway this can be done?
Please i need your help.
"neutralise the laser spectrum" doesn't sound like a plausible technical description. Which object are you targetting with the range finder?
A range finder can have difficulties with strong ambient light, e.g. direct sun exposition of the target. In so far I can imagine that a fire might cause problems, too.
I assume that the ambient light tolerance will be different for different range finder types. Review the specification orask the manufacturer.
I am actually try to use Laser ranger finder to estimate the distance to the fire source, by the word "neutralise". i actually referring absorption laser frequency, when that happen the laser will always see a spread of spectrum not really it transmitted beam. i believe most laser range finders uses reflective and phase difference principle to measure range to target.
Laser finders detect a reflection from a reflective target which a fire is not.
To detect fire on a distance, the best way is a good telescope, or, for day use, an IR camera with an IR lens. There are attempts to detect fire by microwave radiometers but for a good angular resolution one needs a relatively large antenna.
