  • Patent number: 10033945
    Abstract: A system and a method for generating orientation-adapted images in a remote inspection system are disclosed, wherein said remote inspection system comprises an image-capturing unit, an image-presenting unit, an orientation sensor, a processor, and an imaging system comprised in said image-capturing unit. The method comprises capturing an image of a real world scene, wherein said image comprises a frame of image data values, obtaining orientation data values from an orientation sensor, and generating an orientation-adapted image based on said image data values and said orientation data values.

  • Publication number: 20060244837
    Abstract: A thermal camera includes an antenna for providing wireless communication and elements for storing data received through the wireless communication elements in connection with an image recorded by the camera. The camera may also include a signal conversion unit for converting commands received through the antenna to a command format recognized by the camera. The antenna is arranged to communicate with a wireless user communication device, such as a headset including a microphone and/or a phonespeaker. The camera may further include alarm elements for determining dangerous situations and to warn an operator through the wireless interface. The thermal camera is particularly suitable for use in dangerous environments.
