Linear frequency modulation infrared thermal imaging detection technology for GFRP/PMI foam sandwich structure defects

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...

Infrared thermal imaging for automated detection of diabetic foot complications.

BACKGROUND Although thermal imaging can be a valuable technology in the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease, it is not yet widely used in clinical practice. Technological advancement in infrared imaging increases its application range. The aim was to explore the first steps in the applicability of high-resolution infrared thermal imaging for noninvasive automated detection of sig...

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...

Human Body Detection Technology by Thermoelectric Infrared Imaging Sensor

This paper describes a newly developed thermoelectric infrared imaging sensor, having a 48 x 32 element thermoelectric focal plane array (FPA), and two experimental vehicle systems. One is a blind spot pedestrian warning system that employs four infrared imaging sensors. This system helps alert the driver to the presence of a pedestrian in a blind spot by detecting the infrared radiation emitte...
