Description
Summary:Describes computational approaches to image processing for improved interpretation and analysis. The authors discuss the physics of image formation, developments in uncooled camera technology, and the use of image processing to interpret 2-D maps of temperatures and to analyze thermal images for assessing physiological changes and responses to physical provocations and stresses such as brief exposure to low temperatures.
