An Overview of Thermal Image Processing and Its Various Applications

Authors(2) :-P. Kanimozhi, Dr. S. Sathya

Recent development in technology is focusing on modern and simple methods for diagnosing of fatal and incurable diseases using thermal image processing. Thermal Imaging is a type of imaging that determines an image based on the absolute temperature of the subject. The image is formed based on the heat signature of objects. Thermal imaging method is non-invasive and non-destructive method used even when the equipment is running, in production and on load. The image produces fast, accurate and immediate temperature measurement and helps in fault detection. The technique uses infrared radiations and includes most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature. Using these images deadly diseases like tuberculosis, cancer, inflammatory diseases, complex pain syndromes can be identified. Diseases diagnosed early can be treated well and cured as quickly as possible.
