Abstract

An information processing device that overlaps and displays a visible-light image and a thermal image, comprising: a visible-light image acquiring unit that acquires a visible-light image of an object; a thermal image acquiring unit that acquires a thermal image specifying a temperature distribution of the object; and a display controller that uses the acquired visible-light image and the acquired thermal image and specifies a thermal image of a certain part whose temperature is different from another part surrounding the certain part of the object and controls to display the thermal image of the certain part to be displayed in a display state that is different from other parts of the object.

Claims

1. An information processing device that overlaps and displays a visible-light image and a thermal image, comprising:

a visible-light image acquiring unit that acquires a visible-light image of an object;

a thermal image acquiring unit that acquires a thermal image specifying a temperature distribution of the object; and

a display controller that uses the acquired visible-light image and the acquired thermal image and specifies a thermal image of a certain part whose temperature is different from another part surrounding the certain part of the object and controls to display the thermal image of the certain part to be displayed in a display state that is different from other parts of the object.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the display controller controls to display the thermal image of the certain part to be displayed with a higher resolution than the other parts.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the display controller controls to display the thermal image of the certain part to be displayed with a higher transmittance than the other parts.

4. An information processing method of overlapping and displaying a visible-light image and a thermal image, comprising:

acquiring a visible-light image of an object and a thermal image of the object;

using the acquired visible-light image and the acquired thermal image and specifying a thermal image of a certain part whose temperature is different from another part surrounding the certain part of the object; and

controlling to display the thermal image of the certain part to be displayed in a display state that is different from other parts of the object.
