Publication number: 20210231502Abstract: An infrared camera captures a subject to generate a thermal image thereof. A distance sensor detects distances from an information processing apparatus to points on the subject. A storage device stores a temperature-to-color conversion table indicative of correspondences between temperatures and pixel colors. A control device processes the thermal image based on the conversion table, to display the processed thermal image on a display device. The control device identifies a region of interest within a range of a predetermined distance from a reference point of the subject based on the distances detected by the distance sensor, sets lower and upper limits of a temperature range based on temperatures of points within the region of interest, updates the conversion table based on the lower and upper limits, and regenerates the thermal image based on the updated conversion table, to display the regenerated thermal image on the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Ryuichi OKAMOTO, Yusaku NAKAMURA, Masaki MUKAI
