OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of remote-sensing infrared thermography as a screening tool for fever. DESIGN Cross-sectional study comparing body temperatures measured by remote-sensing infrared thermography (maximum for frontal, forehead, or lateral views) with core temperatures measured by aural or oral methods. SETTING Accident and Emergency Department, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong. ...

conclusions there were significant distinctions in the skin temperature distribution during exercise according to the activity of the area under consideration during exercise, which may be important in the development of physiological models and heat flux analyses for different purposes. results during pre-exercise, all tsk reached a steady-state (p ≤ 0.05), which ensured adequate thermal stabi...

This paper presents an approach for measuring the geometry of objects with complex shapes with a 3D camera and, at the same time, collecting surface and subsurface information that is then mapped onto the geometry in good spatial alignment. Subsurface information can be captured with infrared thermography or ultrasonic probes. The approach can thus allow non-destructive testing procedures to be...

0. Abstract In this paper we propose a simple enhancing protocol for pulsed infrared thermography. The method is based on stimulating the specimen with two heating pulses separated by a short time interval delta. This approach was tested on several specimens of low and high thermal diffusivity and showed to provide higher thermal contrasts when an optimum interval delta is chosen. The observed ...

An experimental methodology based on thermography techniques has been developed and implemented with the aim of finding emissivity values of forest fuel flames. In this paper, previous works by different authors are discussed and theoretical fundamentals of heat transfer by radiation and of infrared thermography on which experimental method relies are briefly described. Then, designed methodolo...

As the use of advanced composite materials continues to increase in the aerospace community, the need for a quantitative, rapid, in situ inspection technology has become a critical concern throughout the industry. In many applications it is necessary to monitor changes in these materials over an extended period of time to determine the effects of various load conditions. Additionally, the detec...

An infrared thermography equipment is used to measure the temperature rise at the rear surface of a sample submitted to the pulse irradiation of a flash source, in order to derive simultaneously two thermal properties of the sample. The Levemberg Marquadt technique is used to match the experimental data to the analytical model. Care is taken to tune sample features and the experimental set-up. ...

Infrared thermography is a modern measuring method for the examination of redeveloped and non-renovated buildings. Infrared cameras provide a means for temperature measurement in building constructions from the inside as well as from the outside. Thus heat bridges can be detected. It has been shown that infrared thermography is also applicable for finding the exact position of heating tubes or ...
