1. A method of generating a temperature map of a scene, the method comprising:
- receiving thermal data of the scene, wherein the thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data;
generating the temperature map based on at least the thermal data, wherein the temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process of the thermal data; and
transmitting the temperature map and the thermal data concurrently in a data channel as a data stream.

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.
