  • Patent number: 8354639
    Abstract: The invention relates to an IR camera for capturing thermal images of an imaged view, the IR camera comprising an IR camera display arranged to display the captured thermal images to a user of the IR camera according to a view parameter setting. The IR camera is characterized in that it further comprises a display control unit arranged to automatically adjust the view parameter setting in the IR camera display based on a temperature reference area in the captured thermal images, wherein the temperature reference area is obtained using an indication means when a manual indication is performed by the user of the IR camera. The invention further relates to a method for adjusting view parameter settings in an IR camera and a computer program product.

  • Publication number: 20120249800
    Abstract: A method for marking and analyzing at least one object in an IR image, for an embodiment, comprises receiving an image of an object scene comprising at least one object, receiving a first input control signal indicating pixel coordinates of a first selected object scene portion, locking a first marker of a camera on a first object region corresponding to said pixel coordinates in said object scene in response to said first input control signal, wherein said input control signal is generated by a user activating an input means by a single action. The invention for various embodiments also relates to an IR camera, a computer program product and an image processing system comprising such an IR camera.

  • Publication number: 20100265332
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an IR camera for capturing thermal images of an imaged view, the IR camera comprising an IR camera display configured to display the captured thermal images to a user of the IR camera; a display control unit configured to control the IR camera display to further display a current temperature range of the IR camera. The IR camera is characterised in that the display control unit is configured to determine an indication scale comprising the entire current temperature range of the IR camera wherein equally sized temperature intervals have different geometric size in the indication scale based on upon the actual image content of the captured thermal image, and control the IR camera display to display the indication scale to a user of the IR camera. Embodiments of the invention further relate to a method for use in displaying captured thermal images of an IR camera and a computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions for the same.
