Methods for generating a temperature map of a scene are provided. A method may include receiving thermal data of the scene. The thermal data includes frames of thermal infrared data. A mapping may be created for each frame based on the digital thermal infrared data. The method further includes generating the temperature map using the mapping. The temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process. The method further includes separately transmitting the temperature map and the digital thermal infrared data in a data channel.

Methods for producing a temperature map of a scene

A method for generating a temperature map of a scene may include receiving thermal data of the scene, wherein the thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data. A mapping may be created for each frame of the plurality of frames based on the digital thermal infrared data. The method further comprises generating the temperature map using the mapping, wherein the temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process and separately transmitting the temperature map and the digital thermal infrared data in a data channel.

Methods and system for producing a temperature map of a scene

A system and method of image processing is provided, including implementing adaptive pixel replacement techniques or reducing noise. The method includes obtaining a data map of an image frame, wherein the data map comprises good pixels and bad pixels at locations associated with the data map. The method also includes assigning different techniques to the bad pixels, wherein a first technique is assigned to a first bad pixel and a second technique is assigned to a second bad pixel. The method further includes adjusting information associated with the bad pixels for a chosen technique for each of the bad pixels.

Method and system for adaptive pixel replacement

A thermal imaging camera includes an infrared detector operable to capture thermal video data, a processor coupled to the infrared detector and operable to process the thermal video data, and at least one communications interface operable to communicate the processed thermal video data to a consumer mobile device coupled thereto.

System architecture for thermal imaging and thermography cameras

A method includes receiving thermal data of a scene. The thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data. The method also includes generating a temperature map based on at least the thermal data. The temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process of the thermal data. The method further includes transmitting the temperature map and the thermal data concurrently in a data channel as a data stream.
