OBJECTIVE The timely and accurate assessment of skin and underlying tissue is crucial for making informed decisions relating to wound development and existing wounds. The study objective was to determine within- and between-reader agreement of Scout Visual-to-Thermal Overlay (WoundVision LLC, Indianapolis, Indiana) placement (moving the wound edge trace from the visual image onto the wound edge...

Sensitivity in BOLD fMRI is characterized by the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the time-series (tSNR), which contains fluctuations from thermal and physiological noise sources. Alteration of an acquisition parameter can affect the tSNR differently depending on the relative magnitude of the physiological and thermal noise, therefore knowledge of this ratio is essential for optimizing fMRI acqui...

There has been an active development toward the extraction of human image by measuring heat sources with infrared rays. This is because infrared rays are more effective at detecting human than visible light. Detection of position and posture of occupants using low resolution sensor is proposed. The proposed system can measure the position and posture of occupants from data using a sensor. Other...

Manual analysis of thermal image for detecting defects and classifying of condition of surge arrester take a long time. Artificial neural network is good tool for predict and classify data. This study applied neural network for classify the degree of degradation of surge arrester. Thermal image as input of neural network was segmented using Otsu’s segmentation and histogram method to get featur...

The history of the watershed for segmentation is linked with the technological development of the image processing devices. In the mid seventies, computer memory was expensive, and computers slow. At the CMM we developed the first image analyzers, subsequently commercialized by Leitz under the name TAS holding binary image memories [20]. The result of an image transform may be stored in a memor...

Staggered time delay and integration (TDI) scanning image acquisition systems are usually employed in low signal-to-noise situations such as thermal imaging. Analysis and restoration of images acquired by thermal staggered TDI sensors in the presence of mechanical vibrations that may cause space-variant image distortions (severe geometric warps and blur) are studied. The relative motion at each...

Thermography, or thermal visualization is a type of infrared visualization. Thermographic cameras are used in many heavy factories like metal recycling factories, wafer production factories and etc for monitoring the temperature conditions of the machines. Besides, thermographic camera can be used to detect trespassers in environment with poor lighting condition, whereby, the conventional digit...
