First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating a temperature map of a scene, the method comprising:
- receiving light data of the scene, wherein the light data includes a plurality of frames of analog infrared light data;
converting the analog infrared light data from analog to digital format to create digital infrared light data;
creating a lookup table for each frame of the plurality of frames based on the digital infrared light data;
generating the temperature map using the lookup table; and
separately transmitting the temperature map and the digital infrared light data in a data channel.

Abstract
Methods of and systems for generating a temperature map of a scene are provided. The method may include receiving thermal data of the scene, wherein the thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data. A mapping may be created for each frame of the plurality of frames based on the digital thermal infrared data. The method further comprises generating the temperature map using the mapping, wherein the temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process and separately transmitting the temperature map and the digital thermal infrared data in a data channel.
