Thermal Infrared Localization

چکیده
In contrast to outdoor localization where everything is based on GPS, there is no comparable system for indoor localization. Only a few expensive tag based systems like Ubisense [1] are available for purchase. Recent development in this field is mainly focused on radio based systems. Unfortunately, all radio based systems require some sort of tag to be attached to the localized object. This may be a solution for crates that are driven around warehouses but not for persons in home environments or assisted living residences. With the goal to provide supervision or assistance for activities of daily living, a system is preferred that does not need a tag.

Thermo Vision Camera Space Calibration Method in Area of Mobile Robots Observation
Abstract: The existing popular methods of thermo vision camera calibration are for temperature range adjustment using reference temperature sources and test thermal images. Correct temperature calibration of a thermal or infrared camera allows the inspector to be certain of the temperature measurements presented in the thermal images given from a calibrated thermal or infrared camera. Also in e...
متن کاملThermal patterns in zoster
RATIONALE Varicella zoster virus is a neurotropic virus that causes an infectious disease characterized by skin changes and neuropathic pain. After the resolution of the first infection, the virus lies dormant within the sensory ganglia. The reactivation of the virus causes zoster. An alteration in skin infrared emission might be expected in the areas of the skin affected by inflammatory change...
متن کامل3D Defect Localization on Exothermic Faults within Multi-Layered Structures Using Lock-In Thermography: An Experimental and Numerical Approach
Micro-electronic devices are increasingly incorporating miniature multi-layered integrated architectures. However, the localization of faults in three-dimensional structure remains challenging. This study involved the experimental and numerical estimation of the depth of a thermally active heating source buried in multi-layered silicon wafer architecture by using both phase information from an ...
متن کاملBroadband infrared vibrational nano-spectroscopy using thermal blackbody radiation.
Infrared vibrational nano-spectroscopy based on scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) provides intrinsic chemical specificity with nanometer spatial resolution. Here we use incoherent infrared radiation from a 1400 K thermal blackbody emitter for broadband infrared (IR) nano-spectroscopy. With optimized interferometric heterodyne signal amplification we achieve few-monolaye...
متن کاملEye localization from thermal infrared images
By using the knowledge of facial structure and temperature distribution, this paper proposes an automatic eye localization method from long wave infrared thermal images both with eyeglasses and without eyeglasses. First, with the help of support vector machine classifier, three gray-projection features are defined to determine whether a subject is with eyeglasses. For subjects with eyeglasses, ...
متن کاملThermal infrared near-field spectroscopy.
Despite the seminal contributions of Kirchhoff and Planck describing far-field thermal emission, fundamentally distinct spectral characteristics of the electromagnetic thermal near-field have been predicted. However, due to their evanescent nature their direct experimental characterization has remained elusive. Combining scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy with Fourier-transform s...
