introduction: tracking temporal changes of temperature during laser skin treatment plays an important role in improving the process of laser skin treatment itself. there are a number of methods to analyze temperature’s temporal dependency during laser skin treatment; some of those methods depend on imaging the skin with thermal cameras. however, the use of thermal cameras exhibits specific prob...

Introduction: We have previously demonstrated the viability of using thermal infrared images for mapping surface grain size distributions on terrestrial allu-vial fans [1, 2, 3]. For a well characterized alluvial fan in Owens Valley, CA we have used a quantitative analysis between aerial thermal images and ground-based grain size counts as well as a qualitative analysis between our thermal imag...

Infrared Thermography (IT) is an imaging technology aimed at the non-invasive measurement of the temperature distribution of the observed object. The capability to capture the temperature map of an object by an imaging device, makes IT an effective solution within Wind Tunnels systems, because it avoids the undesired drawbacks which are typically raised by intrusive diagnostics, like the altera...

The visible image-based approach has long been considered the most powerful approach to facial emotion estimation. However it is illumination dependency. Under uncontrolled operating conditions, estimation accuracy degrades significantly. In this paper, we focus on integrating visible images with thermal image sequences for facial emotion estimation. First, to address limitations of thermal inf...

We consider dynamic scenes consisting of moving points whose motion is constrained to happen in one of a pencil of planes. This is for example the case when rigid objects move independently, but on a common ground plane (each point moves in one of a pencil of planes parallel to the ground plane). We consider stereo pairs of the dynamic scene, taken by a moving stereo system, that allow to obtai...
