Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging

Quantitative assessment of pain-related thermal dysfunction through clinical digital infrared thermal imaging

BACKGROUND The skin temperature distribution of a healthy human body exhibits a contralateral symmetry. Some nociceptive and most neuropathic pain pathologies are associated with an alteration of the thermal distribution of the human body. Since the dissipation of heat through the skin occurs for the most part in the form of infrared radiation, infrared thermography is the method of choice to s...

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 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...

Identification and Suppression of Thermal Reflections in Infrared Thermal Imaging

Thermal reflections are a common source of problems in interpreting infrared (IR) thermal images. In particular, atomically smooth surfaces like glass, metals, or wet surfaces, and also brick and concrete, may easily give rise to reflections of infrared radiation from often uncared sources. If unnoticed, these thermal reflections may give rise to misinterpretations of the object temperature. Af...
