Three-Dimensional Displacement Compensation Method for Microscopic Thermoreflectance Thermography and Control Device
A three-dimensional displacement compensation method is provided. The method includes an obtaining step, a transforming step, a first determining step, a first calculating step and a compensating step. The obtaining step includes obtaining a current image of a measured element captured by a microscopic thermoreflectance thermography device. The transforming step includes two sub-steps.

COST EFFECTIVE, MASS PRODUCIBLE SYSTEM FOR RAPID DETECTION OF FEVER CONDITIONS BASED ON THERMAL IMAGING
Systems and methods based on thermal imaging for rapid detection of fever conditions in humans that provide for extremely inexpensive, mass producible, field deployable devices accurate in specific, relatively low temperature ranges, and in particular temperatures near nominal human body temperature. The system may include a thermal imager tailored for the application and a corresponding mass producible controlled temperature calibration source configured to provide real time calibration near the human body temperature of interest. The imager and source are deployed in a way such that target people and the calibration source will be within the imager FOV for fever detection. The combination of real time near measurement temperature calibration, with suitable thermography approaches, yield fast, accurate measurements in the fever range using low cost, easy-to-produce components. In combination with a visible imager and pattern/facial recognition techniques, detection of a human target's facial regions of interest suitable for fever detection can be accurately accomplished.
Inspection system
Examples of non-invasive inspection of a mechanical system are described. In an example implementation, a first operational data from a detector mounted on an item being handled by a mechanical system is retrieved. The detector may include one or more sensors, and the first operational data is indicative of a current operational condition of the mechanical system. The first operational data can be compared with a corresponding historical first operational data and an error in the current operational condition of the mechanical system is determined based on the comparison. In response to the identification of the error, a notification is generated to perform a non-invasive inspection of the mechanical system.
