Abstract: An image display device generates a temperature information image indicating, by a numerical value, a temperature of each pixel contained in a predetermined area including a position on a thermal image specified by a user, and causes a display to display the temperature information image while a temperature of a pixel corresponding to the position specified is displayed at a center of the temperature information image. The image display device sets a temperature range that has a predetermined temperature width and a center which is a temperature of a pixel corresponding to a position the temperature information image specified by the user, updates the temperature-color conversion information based on the set temperature range, regenerates the thermal image and the temperature information image based on the temperature-color conversion information updated, and causes the display to display the regenerated thermal image and the regenerated temperature information image.

Abstract: 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.
