Thermal Infrared Salient Human Detection Model Combined with Thermal Features in Airport Terminal

Target detection in low light background is one of the main tasks of night patrol robots for airport terminal.However,if some algorithms can run on a robot platform with limited computing resources,it is difficult for these algorithms to ensure the detection accuracy of human body in the airport terminal. A novel thermal infrared salient human detection model combined with thermal features called TFSHD is proposed. The TFSHD model is still based on U-Net,but the decoder module structure and model lightweight have been redesigned. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the algorithm in complex scenes,a fusion module composed of thermal branch and saliency branch is added to the decoder of the TFSHD model. Furthermore,a predictive loss function that is more sensitive to high temperature regions of the image is designed. Additionally,for the sake of reducing the computing resource requirements of the algorithm,a model lightweight scheme that includes simplifying the encoder network structure and controlling the number of decoder channels is adopted. The experimental results on four data sets show that the proposed method can not only ensure high detection accuracy and robustness of the algorithm,but also meet the needs of real-time detection of patrol robots with detection speed above 40 f/s.

Infrared Image Small Target Detection Based on Bi-orthogonal Wavelet and Morphology

An image multi-scale edge detection method based on anti-symmetrical bi-orthogonal wavelet is given in theory. Convolution operation property and function as a differential operator are analyzed,which anti-symmetrical bi-orthogonal wavelet transform have. An algorithm for wavelet reconstruction in which multi-scale edge can be detected is put forward. Based on it, a detection method for small target in infrared image with sea or sky background based on the anti-symmetrical bi-orthogonal wavelet and morphology is proposed. The small target detection is considered as a process in which structural background is removed, correlative background is suppressed, and noise is restrained. In this approach, the multi-scale edge is extracted by means of the anti-symmetrical bi-orthogonal wavelet decomposition. Then, module maximum chains formed by complicated background of clouds, sea wave and sea-sky-line are removed, and the image background becomes smoother. Finally, the morphology based edge detection method is used to get small target and restrain undulate background and noise. Experiment results show that the approach can suppress clutter background and detect the small target effectively.

Utilization of Thermal Infrared Image for Inversion of Winter Wheat Yield and Biomass

The present paper utilizes thermal infrared image for inversion of winter wheat yield and biomass with different technology of irrigation(drip irrigation,sprinkler irrigation,flood irrigation).It is the first time that thermal infrared image is used for predicting the winter wheat yield and biomass.The temperature of crop and background was measured by thermal infrared image.It is necessary to get the crop background separation index(CBSIL,CBSIH),which can be used for distinguishing the crop value from the image.CBSIL and CBSIH(the temperature when the leaves are wet adequately;the temperature when the stomata of leaf is closed completely) are the threshold values.The temperature of crop ranged from CBSIL to CBSIH.Then the ICWSI was calculated based on relevant theoretical method.The value of stomata leaf has strong negative correlation with ICWSI proving the reliable value of ICWSI.In order to construct the high accuracy simulation model,the samples were divided into two parts.One was used for constructing the simulation model,the other for checking the accuracy of the model.Such result of the model was concluded as:(1) As for the simulation model of soil moisture,the correlation coefficient(R2) is larger than 0.887 6,the average of relative error(Er) ranges from 13.33% to 16.88%;(2) As for the simulation model of winter wheat yield,drip irrigation(0.887 6,16.89%,-0.12),sprinkler irrigation(0.970 0,14.85%,-0.12),flood irrigation(0.969 0,18.87%,0.18),with the values of R2,Er and CRM listed in the parentheses followed by the individual term.(3) As for winter wheat biomass,drip irrigation(0.980 0,13.70%,0.13),sprinkler irrigation(0.95,13.15%,-0.14),flood irrigation(0.970 0,14.48%,-0.13),and the values in the parentheses are demonstrated the same as above.Both the CRM and Er are shown to be very low values,which points to the accuracy and reliability of the model investigated.The accuracy of model is high and reliable.The results indicated that thermal infrared image can be used potentially for inversion of winter wheat yield and biomass.

INFRARED THERMAL IMAGE STUDY ON THE FOREWARNING OF COAL AND SANDSTONE FAILURE UNDER LOAD

In the experimental study, AGE-782 thermal instrument was used to detect the infrared radiation variation of coal and sandstone (wave-length range 3.6～5.5 μm was used). It's discovered that coal and sandstone failure under load have three kinds of infrared thermal features as well as infrared forewarning messages. That are: (1) temperature rises gradually but drops before failure ; (2) temperature rises gradually but quickly rises before failure; (3) first rises,then drops and lower temperature emerges before failure. The further researches and the prospect of micro-wave remote sensing detection .on ground pressure is also discussed.

Basic Study of Air Leakage Position Based on Thermography Mosaic Technology

When locating the leakage of thermal field of a certain container, it is hard for us to evaluate the leakage with one or several separate thermal infrared images. Instead, panoramic imagery with a wide visual angle and high distinguishability is always needed. However, we can only get images for part of the scene because of the limited visual field of thermography and the large size of the measured object in practical. What is more, the hardware that can be used to get panoramic images is always expensive and cannot be used in large scale. Therefore, this paper introduces image mosaic technology, which can be used to get the intact thermal infrared image of the measured and increase the efficiency of detection. The experiment results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Biomimetic staring infrared imaging omnidirectional detection technology

In order to realize omnidirectional real-time detection and awareness in thermal infrared (IR) region,a kind of biomimetic miniature IR imaging detection system (BMIRIDS) has been successfully developed.It is classified as a long wave IR(LWIR) system and a mid-wave IR(MWIR) one.The former consists of a LWIR fish-eye lens and a LWIR focal plane array (FPA)-biomimetic electronic module,the latter consists of a MWIR fish-eye lens and a MWIR FPA-biomimetic electronic module.Both can provide complete hemispherical staring field of view,and have the capability to determine target bearings,to remove all stationary scene clutter and only detect moving targets,to sense targets range and their velocity.The capability closely approximates the vision process performed in nature by biological sensors.Furthermore,an additional biomimetic module block has been integrated into BMIRIDS.The module block imitating the function of human vision produces the logarithmic brightness image,and enhances the target image outline by virtue of the Roberts gradient difference.The logarithmic transform permits expanding the dynamic range of optical incidence without saturating the electric circuit,and makes the image more suitable for watching.DSP and FPGA perform the aforesaid vision functions that are advantageous to detect and track targets.Therefore,BMIRIDS can perform more powerful real-time signal and image processing on the resulting image data than the ordinary previous systems mainly by the aid of "software-only" processing.Because BMIRIDS has a 2π-steradian (sr.) staring field-of-view,two of such systems opposed to one another would provide a complete view of space around the sensor platform.In addition,its low power consumption makes itself meet the manifold platforms' needs.The practice has proved that BMIRIDS can truly realize "omnidirectional" "real-time" situation awareness and dynamic information acquirement.By virtue of biomimetic technology,some limitations of the current photoelectric equipment have been broken and a new type of IR equipment has been developed.

Design of Uncooled Thermal Imaging Systems Operating at Multiple Temperatures

The reasons why thermal imaging systems consume power are analyzed,and a low power consumption design scheme is presented for the thermal imaging systems operating at multiple temperatures. The relation between the response performance of α-Si microbolometer detector and its operating temperature is studied by means of formulas of microbolometer detector's noise equivalent temperature difference(NETD) and detectivity. Numerical analysis based on true parameters demonstrates that the detectivity decreases slightly and NETD increases slightly when operating temperature rises,which indicates that α-Si microbolometer detector has approximately uniform response in a wide operating temperature range. According to these analyses,a thermal imaging system operating at multiple temperatures is designed. The power of thermoelectric stabilizer(TEC) is less than 350 mW and NETD is less than 120 mK in the ambient temperature range of-40 ℃-60 ℃,which shows that this system not only outputs high-quality images but consumes low power.

Using shape contexts method for registration of contra lateral breasts in thermal images

AIM: To achieve symmetric boundaries for left and right breasts boundaries in thermal images by registration. METHODS: The proposed method for registration consists of two steps. In the first step, shape context, an approach as presented by Belongie and Malik was applied for registration of two breast boundaries. The shape context is an approach to measure shape similarity. Two sets of finite sample points from shape contours of two breasts are then presented. Consequently, the correspondences between the two shapes are found. By finding correspondences, the sample point which has the most similar shape context is obtained. RESULTS: In this study, a line up transformation which maps one shape onto the other has been estimated in order to complete shape. The used of a thin plate spline permitted good estimation of a plane transformation which has capability to map unselective points from one shape onto the other. The obtained aligningtransformation of boundaries points has been applied successfully to map the two breasts interior points. Some of advantages for using shape context method in this work are as follows:(1) no special land marks or key points are needed;(2) it is tolerant to all common shape deformation; and(3) although it is uncomplicated and straightforward to use, it gives remarkably powerful descriptor for point sets significantly upgrading point set registration. Results are very promising. The proposed algorithm was implemented for 32 cases. Boundary registration is done perfectly for 28 cases.CONCLUSION: We used shape contexts method that is simple and easy to implement to achieve symmetric boundaries for left and right breasts boundaries in thermal images.
