Artificial Intelligence-based Infrared Thermal Image Processing and its Applications
by U. Snekhalatha, K. Palani Thanaraj, Kurt Ammer
Preface
Body temperature is a vital parameter used in the medical field for indicating abnormal activity of human tissues. Infrared (IR) thermal imaging produces information on skin temperature distribution in various body regions. The thermal property of human skin varies between the different layers or within the layers of the skin due to the presence of the blood vessels. Depending on the individual’s condition and the surrounding environment, the human body will dissipate the excess heat energy. Over the decades, many research works have been carried out to analyze this temperature profile on various skin regions to identify the physiological process behind it. This procedure forms the basis of thermal imaging, whereby advanced thermal imaging ...
