An infrared sensor includes: a package body; an infrared sensor chip mounted on a front surface of the package body; an outside cap made of metal, having a function of transmitting infrared light as a detection target for the infrared sensor chip, and attached to the package body such that the outside cap is in front of, and covers, the infrared sensor chip; an inside cap made of metal, having a function of transmitting the infrared light as the detection target for the infrared sensor chip, and disposed between the package body and the outside cap such that the inside cap is in front of, and covers the infrared sensor chip; and a ground terminal to be connected to external ground. The outside cap is electrically insulated from the inside cap and the infrared sensor chip. The inside cap is electrically connected to the ground terminal.

Infrared sensor

An infrared processing system includes a first thermal image generating unit, an object extracting unit, a second thermal image generating unit, and an object temperature calculating unit. The first thermal image generating unit generates, using a first temperature correction value, a first thermal image based on the output signal of the image sensor. The object extracting unit extracts the object from the first thermal image. The second thermal image generating unit generates, using a second temperature correction value corresponding to the object that has been extracted by the object extracting unit, a second thermal image based on the output signal of the image sensor. The object temperature calculating unit calculates, based on the second thermal image that has been generated by the second thermal image generating unit, a temperature of the object that has been extracted by the object extracting unit.

Infrared processing system, infrared sensor system, infrared processing method, and program

A temperature sensing system senses a temperature in the monitor space. The temperature sensing system includes a first detector, a second detector, and a processing unit. The first detector detects a temperature on a ceiling and outputs first information about the temperature on the ceiling. The second detector detects infrared radiation emitted from a floor and outputs second information about the infrared radiation from the floor. The processing unit calculates, based on at least the first information and the second information, a spatial temperature distribution which includes a component in a height direction with respect to the monitor space between the ceiling and the floor.
