Abstract
Thermal imaging systems can include an infrared camera module (), a user interface (), a processor (), and a memory. The memory can include instructions to cause the processor () to perform a method upon a detected actuation from the user interface (). The method can include performing a non-uniformity correction () to reduce or eliminate fixed pattern noise from infrared image data from the infrared camera module (). The method can include capturing infrared images () at a plurality of times and register the captured images via a stabilization process (). The registered, non-uniformity corrected images can be used to perform a gas imaging process (). A processor () can be configured to compare an apparent background temperature in each of a plurality of regions of infrared image data to a target gas temperature. The processor () can determine if such regions lack sufficient contrast to reliably observe the target gas.
