THERMOGRAPHIC IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for processing thermographic images, comprising:
- receiving a query corresponding to a set of thermographic images;
receiving a request for at least one of the set of thermographic images, the request being based on a result of the query;
retrieving thermographic image data corresponding to the at least one of the set of thermographic images from storage;
processing the thermographic image data with a thermographic image processor; and
returning a response to the request, the response being based on the thermographic image data after the thermographic image data has been processed.

Abstract
The system permits sharing both thermographic image processing and visualization across a single universal platform, thus allowing for sharing of processor resources and visualization of thermographic images on a variety of imaging (client) devices without high-performance graphical display cards. In a typical embodiment, a (e.g., medical) thermographic image 2D linear registration algorithm is implemented on a Cell Broadband Engine processor, which has nine processor cores on a chip and has a 4-way SIMD unit for each core. This multi-core processor technological advancement allows for the development of a thermographic image processing system that is used for thermographic image capturing modalities. A platform is used to provide a generalized medical thermographic image capturing and processing system, which handles different types of medical thermographic image apparatuses on a single data processing platform.
