Abstract
A temperature detection system and method for detecting a correlation between temperatures on a subject and a temperature reference is provided. One or more calibrated temperature reference devices, such as a Body Temperature Reference blackbody system is used with an emissive source detector, such as a Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR) or Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) thermal camera that is capable of imaging both a subject and the calibrated temperature reference devices. A processor maps each pixel within the image to a specific thermal value based on the mean and median reference temperatures from the calibrated temperature reference devices and identifies any pixel in the image having a temperature greater than the reference temperature. This information can be used to detect an elevated temperature from a subject. The system and method can be used to detect fevers, tumors, infections, parasites, and the like.
