Finding Mammals Using Far-Infrared Thermal Imaging

Human Detection using Infrared Thermal Imaging System

Image processing techniques were used to enhance the recorded thermal images and to remove unwanted noise. The skin surface area centered on the tip of the face was specified by a square that covered the region using Haarlike feature method. The face is detected and then tracked. The camera adjusts its pan and tilt continuously to capture the face at center location of display screen. Experimen...

Far Infrared Imaging of Ngc 55

We present images of the galaxy NGC 55 at 24, 70, and 160 μm obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) instrument aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The new images display the far infrared emission in unprecedented detail and demonstrate that the infrared morphology differs dramatically from that at shorter wavelengths. The most luminous emission region in the galaxy is...

Infrared thermal imaging in medicine.

This review describes the features of modern infrared imaging technology and the standardization protocols for thermal imaging in medicine. The technique essentially uses naturally emitted infrared radiation from the skin surface. Recent studies have investigated the influence of equipment and the methods of image recording. The credibility and acceptance of thermal imaging in medicine is subje...

Thermal detection of embedded tumors using infrared imaging.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Thermography, also known as thermal or infrared imaging, is a procedure to determine if an abnormality is present in the breast tissue temperature distribution. This abnormality in temperature distribution might indicate the presence of an embedded tumor. Although thermography is currently used to indicate the presence of an abnormality, ther...
