Abstract: A method of assisting tilt angle adjustment of a thermal camera comprises arranging the thermal camera at an initial tilt angle, acquiring at least one thermal image by the thermal camera, determining, from the at least one thermal image, a series of sharpness indicators of image parts corresponding to vertically spaced parts of the camera view, identifying a maximum in the series of sharpness indicators, based on the identified maximum, determining a target sharpness indicator as a predetermined fraction of the identified maximum, during tilt angle adjustment, assisting by providing a target signal for indicating a target tilt angle of the thermal camera in which a sharpness indicator of a lower part of the camera's field of view equals the determined target sharpness indicator.

Abstract: A method and an alert discriminator for converting alerts in a video monitoring operation. The method comprises: triggering a candidate alert, in response to detecting, in a stream of thermal images of a scene, a stationary foreground object in the scene; evaluating an intensity of the detected stationary foreground object in relation to a background intensity; and in response to the intensity of the detected stationary foreground object being above the background intensity, converting the candidate alert to an actual alert.

Abstract: A method and a system for filtering thermal image data. The method comprises: capturing thermal image data by a thermal image detector; forming a signal distribution of intensity values; identifying a first part in the signal distribution of intensity values, the first part being a peak having an intensity width equal to or smaller than a predetermined intensity span being based on a resolution parameter of the thermal image detector; identifying a second part having an intensity width larger than the predetermined intensity span; determining an intensity range between the first part and the second part; and filtering, if the intensity range is larger than a predetermined minimum intensity range, the thermal image data by excluding thermal image data forming part of the first part.

Abstract: A method for temperature calibration and determination of a temperature in a scene. At each time point out of a plurality of time points in a first period of time, collecting an ambient temperature representing a temperature at a first part of the scene and collecting thermal image sensor signal values corresponding to the collected ambient temperatures and relating to the first part. Determine a calibration function based on the collected ambient temperatures and the thermal image sensor signal values corresponding to each of the collected ambient temperatures. In a second period of time, capturing a thermal image of the scene comprising thermal image sensor signal values relating to a second part of the scene and determine a temperature at the second part of the scene based on the calibration function and based on thermal image sensor signal values comprised in the thermal image.
