Patent number: 10298859Abstract: Various techniques are provided to generate enhanced visual representations of captured infrared (IR) data values. For example, various methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums are provided that may be used to map color and/or grayscale values to temperature values. Such mapping permits a user to intuitively interpret the temperatures associated with the IR data values. The temperatures may be presented as a visual representation of the captured IR data values having an enhanced contrast.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: FLIR Systems ABInventors: Walter Frost, Mikael Erlandsson, Fredrik Von Braun, Petter Wilhelm Richard Sundin

Patent number: 8599262Abstract: 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 characterized 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2009Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Flir Systems ABInventors: Erland George-Svahn, Rasmus Mattsson, Mikael Erlandsson, Torsten Sandbäck

Publication number: 20130307992Abstract: This disclosure relates in general to the field of visualizing, imaging and animating groups of images, and annotations in IR-cameras. Various techniques are provided for a method of managing IR image data on a group level. For example, the method may comprise; capturing an IR image comprising temperature data representing the temperature variance of an object scene; storing the IR image as a first data item in a predetermined data structure; storing a second data item in said predetermined data structure; and associating in said data structure the first and the second data item such that an operation is enabled on the first and the second associated data items jointly as a group of data items.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: FLIR Systems ABInventors: Mikael Erlandsson, Erland George-Svahn, Torsten Sandbäck
