METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SCENE AND TEMPERATURE DATA IN A VIDEO STREAM

摘要

Methods of and systems for providing temperature data in a video stream are provided. The method includes receiving a video stream having a plurality of video frames with a first frame rate and receiving temperature data having a plurality of temperature frames with a slower second frame rate. To interlace the temperature data, a subset of temperature frames in the plurality of temperature frames can be extracted. The method further includes transmitting each temperature frame in the subset of temperature frames with the plurality of video frames in a data stream. The method may further include identifying missing data in the subset of temperature frames and correlating the missing data with the plurality of video frames. Based on the correlation of the missing data with the plurality of video frames, missing data can be provided to the subset of temperature frames to reconstruct the full plurality of temperature frames. Additionally, methods of and systems for generating a temperature map of a scene are provided. The method may include receiving thermal data of the scene, wherein the thermal data includes a plurality of frames of thermal infrared data. A mapping may be created for each frame of the plurality of frames based on the digital thermal infrared data. The method further comprises generating the temperature map using the mapping, wherein the temperature map is generated prior to a contrast enhancement process and separately transmitting the temperature map and the digital thermal infrared data in a data channel.
