Abstract

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.
