2 Protocol for Standardized Data Collection in Humans

DOI: 10.1201/9781003245780-2

Following strictly standardized conditions and procedures for capturing infrared thermal images is the mandatory requirement to get valid and reliable information on both image content and temperature estimation. Thermal images of high reliability reduce the workload for image processing to suppress artifacts and correct positioning errors, thus increasing the credibility of automatically obtained temperature readings.

2.1 Background and International Guidelines

Since all objects with a temperature above zero Kelvin emit some electromagnetic radiation, this radiation can be captured by suitable detectors. The thermal radiation is converted into temperature and ...
