Disclosed are a method of acquiring an image using a light-emitting element array and an apparatus therefor. The method of acquiring an image using a light-emitting element array includes reconstructing a first image from some images among source images, detecting a partial region containing a detection target object from the first image, acquiring partial-region images corresponding to the partial region from each of the source images, and reconstructing a second image from the partial-region images using the FPMP.

A light socket surveillance system can be used to enable a first party to communicate with a second party. The light socket surveillance system can be used to detect an audible notification from the first party. In response to detecting the audible notification from the first party, the light socket surveillance system can initiate a communication session with a remote computing device of the second party.

A system for monitoring a switchgear includes an infrared camera; a processing unit; and an output unit. The infrared camera acquires a first infrared image having a first number of pixels, and the processing unit determines a pixel in the first infrared image with a maximum temperature. The processing unit utilizes a second number less than the first number to determine a temperature interval for the first infrared image equal to a difference between the maximum temperature in the first infrared image and a threshold temperature in the first infrared image. The processing unit is configured to determine that a hot spot exists in the switchgear using the temperature interval for the first infrared image.

The disclosure relates to various temperature reference systems capable of generating at least one reference temperature. Such systems may provide the reference temperature to an IR camera which may then use the reference temperature in measuring a temperature of a target who has an unknown temperature. More particularly, this disclosure discloses various temperature reference units or their pink bodies of which temperature is to be detected and used as the reference temperature by the IR camera, and various configurations and methods of preventing or minimizing inherent errors which are caused by thermal conduction as well as thermal convection on and across such a temperature reference unit. This disclosure also relates to various methods of fabricating, installing, and using the pink bodies, temperature reference units, and temperature reference systems, in conjunction with an IR camera, a processor or other thermal imaging equipment.
