Title of Document: DEVELOPING A DISPLAY SCREEN CORRELATION METRIC FOR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS Joshua Benjamin Dinaburg, Master’s of Science, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Gregory Jackson, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation to semi-quantitatively determine the thermal profile of the surroundings. Previously, no standard performance measurement...

Householders play a role in energy conservation through the decisions they make about purchases and installations such as insulation, and through their habitual behavior. The present U.K. study investigated the effect of thermal imaging technology on energy conservation, by measuring the behavioral effect after householders viewed images of heat escaping from or cold air entering their homes. I...

This paper describes a thermal imaging system which includes a customized micromachined thermal probe and circuit interface for a scanning microscopy instrument. The probe shank is made from polyimide for mechanical compliance and high thermal isolation, and has a thin-film metal tip of ≈50 nm in diameter. The circuit provides closed-loop control of the tip temperature and also permits it to be...

Thermal Imaging has been an area of potential military interest in the last three decades and has been shrouded by veil of secrecy. Recently there has been resurgence of the interest in thermal imaging due to its use in non military applications such as biomedical engineering; conservation of natural resources, astronomy etc., and list of such applications is growing day by day. In this paper w...

Title of Thesis: NON-INVASIVE IMAGING TECHNIQUES AS A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SKIN DAMAGE DUE TO IONIZING RADIATION Abby Jeanne Vogel, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis Directed By: Yang Tao, Ph.D., P.E., Professor of Biological Resources Engineering This study tested the ability of two non-invasive techniques, thermography and near-infrared multi-spectral imaging, to quantitatively assess the re...
