Temperature sensor
First Claim
1. A temperature sensor for sensing a temperature profile of a target surface and judging whether a high-temperature area, having a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature, of the target surface is a major area, the temperature sensor comprising:
- an image capturing module for measuring the temperature profile of the target surface and for capturing a heat image of the target surface;
an image processing module for filtering the heat image of the target surface according to the temperature profile and labelling the high-temperature area;
an image database for storing a plurality of images of the major areas; and
a comparison module for comparing an image of the high-temperature area with the image of the major area stored in the image database and deciding whether the high-temperature area is the major areas.

Abstract
This invention provides a temperature sensor to sense a temperature profile of a target surfaces and to judge whether the high-temperature area, having a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature, of the target surface is a major area. The temperature sensor comprises an image capturing module, an image processing module, an image database and a comparison module. The image capturing module is used to measure the temperature profile of the target surface and capture a heat image of the target object. The image processing module is used to label the high-temperature area wherein the temperature is high than a predetermined temperature. The image database stores a plurality of images of the major areas. The comparison module compares an image of the high-temperature area with the image of the major area stored in an image database and decides whether the high-temperature area is the major area.
