METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROJECTING A VISIBLE REPRESENTATION OF INFRARED RADIATION

摘要

A method for enabling easier interpretation and analysis of an observed real world scene by presenting a visible representation of infrared (IR) radiation information, based on IR radiation emitted from said real world scene, and additional information onto said observed real world scene, using thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system, a visible light imaging system and a visible light projecting system.

1. A method of enabling easier interpretation and analysis of an observed real world scene by presenting a visible representation of infrared (IR) radiation information, based on IR radiation emitted from said real world scene, and additional information onto said observed real world scene, using a thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system, a visible light imaging system and a visible light projecting system, the method comprising:
capturing IR radiation information based on detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world; creating a visible representation of said detected IR radiation information; aligning said visible representation of said detected IR radiation information to the detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene; creating a visible representation of additional information dependent on a signal received from a predetermined source; creating a combined IR image comprising said aligned visible representation of said detected IR radiation information and said visible representation of additional information; and presenting said combined IR image by projecting it onto said observed real world scene, wherein said visible representation of detected IR radiation information comprised in said combined IR image is projected in alignment with said detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene.
