Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of capturing and calibrating thermal images to provide accurate temperature information regarding an imaged area. The system includes a thermal image sensor positioned next to a non-contact temperature sensor. The system identifies pixels of the thermal image that correspond to a field of view of the temperature sensor and generates a calibration value by analyzing the pixels and the temperature information. Then the thermal image is biased or calibrated using the calibration value.
