摘要: Improved techniques for thermal imaging and gas detection are provided. In one example, a system includes a first set of filters configured to pass first filtered infrared radiation comprising a first range of thermal wavelengths associated with a background portion of a scene. The system also includes a second set of filters configured to pass second filtered infrared radiation comprising a second range of thermal wavelengths associated with a gas present in the scene. The first and second ranges are independent of each other. The system also includes a sensor array comprising adjacent infrared sensors configured to separately receive the first and second filtered infrared radiation to capture first and second thermal images respectively corresponding to the background portion and the gas. Additional systems and methods are also provided.

摘要: Techniques are provided for facilitating detection threshold determination for infrared imaging systems and methods. In one example, a method includes capturing, by an imaging device, a thermal image of a scene. The method further includes determining temperature difference data indicative of a difference between temperature data of the thermal image associated with a background of the scene and temperature data of the thermal image associated with gas detection. The method further includes determining detection threshold data based on sensitivity characteristics associated with the imaging device and the temperature difference data. The method further includes generating a detection threshold image based on the detection threshold data. Each pixel of the detection threshold image corresponds to a respective pixel of the thermal image and has a value indicative of a detection threshold associated with the respective pixel of the thermal image. Related devices and systems are also provided.

摘要: Various techniques are provided for increasing contrast of gas features in a scene. In one example, a method includes receiving a captured infrared image comprising a gas feature and a scene feature. The captured infrared image comprises a first range of pixel values associated with a first temperature range of the gas feature and the scene feature. The method also includes applying a spatial filter to the captured infrared image to provide a spatially filtered infrared image retaining the gas feature and removing the scene feature. The spatially filtered infrared image comprises a second range of pixel values associated with a second temperature range of the gas feature without the additional scene feature to exhibit increased gas contrast over the captured infrared image. Additional methods and systems are also provided.

摘要: Various techniques are disclosed to provide for improved human body temperature detection using thermal images of an inner canthus. In one example, a method includes capturing a thermal image of a human being using a thermal imager. The method also includes determining an uncompensated temperature measurement associated with an inner canthus of a face of the human being using corresponding pixels of the thermal image. The method also includes determining a correction term as a function of a distance between the thermal imager and the human being. The method also includes applying the correction term to the uncompensated temperature measurement to provide a corrected temperature measurement associated with the inner canthus to compensate for attenuation associated with the distance. Additional methods and systems are also provided.
