HEAT TRACE AREA EXTRACTION APPARATUS, HEAT TRACE AREA EXTRACTION METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031141 titled 'HEAT TRACE AREA EXTRACTION APPARATUS, HEAT TRACE AREA EXTRACTION METHOD AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a device for extracting heat trace regions. - The device includes a difference actual object image generation unit that generates an image showing the difference between an actual object image and a background actual object image. - It also includes a difference thermal image generation unit that generates an image showing the difference between a thermal image of the actual object and a thermal image of the background. - The device further includes a heat trace region extraction unit that extracts the heat trace region by removing the region of the actual object from the thermal image using the difference actual object image and the difference thermal image. - The purpose of the device is to identify and extract heat trace regions from a thermal image by comparing it with background images and removing the influence of the actual object.
Original Abstract Submitted
A heat trace region extraction device includes: a difference actual object image generation unit that generates a difference actual object image which is an image of a difference between an actual object image which is an image of an actual object obtained by photographing a certain range with an actual object camera for photographing the actual object and a background actual object image which is an actual object image of a background of the certain range; a difference thermal image generation unit that generates a difference thermal image which is an image of a difference between a thermal image which is an image of heat emitted by the actual object obtained by photographing the certain range with a thermal camera for photographing the heat emitted by the actual object and a background thermal image which is a thermal image of the background; and a heat trace region extraction unit that extracts a heat trace region by removing a region of the actual object from the thermal image based on the difference actual object image and the difference thermal image.
