GAS LEAKAGE DETECTING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A gas leakage detecting system for detecting leaking gas includes a camera set having visible-light cameras and infrared cameras photographing a gas monitoring area, a composite image coupling unit that couples visible-light images captured by the visible-light cameras and infrared images captured by the infrared cameras, extracts gas leakage points from the coupled infrared images when a temperature of a specific gas, which was previously stored in a database (DB), is detected, and creates a composite of the extracted gas leakage points and the visible-light images to create composite images, a screen output unit outputting the composite images created by the composite image coupling unit to an administrator terminal so as to enable an administrator to identify the composite images, and a control unit analyzing a type of the gas and a gas leakage area from the temperature of the specific gas detected from the gas leakage points.
