1. A method of generating a temperature map of a scene, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a detector, 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, using a data channel interface, the temperature map and the thermal data concurrently in a data channel as a data stream.

Abstract
A method includes receiving thermal data of a scene. The thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data. The method also includes generating a temperature map based on at least the thermal data. The temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process of the thermal data. The method further includes transmitting the temperature map and the thermal data concurrently in a data channel as a data stream.
