Method for Modeling a Three-Dimensional Topological Surface of an Object from Long-Wave-Infrared Radiation Emitted from the Object

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for modeling a three-dimensional topological surface of an object acquiring, using a thermal imaging camera, a first image of the object, wherein the first image comprises a plurality of pixels each representative of at least one component of thermal data, calculating a normal vector for each pixel in the first image, corresponding to the normal vector on a surface of the object, generating a three-dimensional model representing a surface of the object based on aggregating the normal vector for each pixel together in the first image.
