Abstract: Wearable systems with thermal imaging capabilities may be provided for detecting the presence and location of persons or animals in an environment surrounding the system in accordance with an embodiment. A wearable system may include a wearable structure such as a helmet with a plurality of imaging modules mounted to the wearable structure. An imaging module may include one or more imaging components such as infrared imaging modules and visible light cameras. Thermal images captured using the infrared imaging modules may be used to detect the presence of a person in the thermal images. The wearable imaging system may include one or more alert components that alert the wearer when a person is detected in the thermal images. The alert components may be used to generate a location-specific alert that alerts the wearer to the location of the detected person. A wearable imaging system may be a multidirectional threat monitoring helmet.

Abstract: Various techniques are provided for an infrared sensor assembly having a hybrid infrared sensor array. In one example, such a hybrid infrared sensor array may include a plurality of microbolometers and a non-bolometric infrared sensor. The non-bolometric infrared sensor may be a thermopile or other type of infrared sensor different from a bolometer-based sensor. The non-bolometric infrared sensor may be utilized to provide a more accurate and stable temperature reading of an object or area of a scene captured by the array. In some embodiments, the non-bolometric infrared sensor may also be utilized to perform a shutter-less radiometric calibration of the microbolometers of the array. An infrared sensor assembly may include, for example, the hybrid infrared sensor array, as well as a substrate including bond pads and/or appropriate circuits to obtain and/or transmit output signals from the non-bolometric infrared sensor.

Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for smart surveillance camera systems and methods using thermal imaging to intelligently control illumination and monitoring of a surveillance scene. For example, a smart camera system may include a thermal imager, an IR illuminator, a visible light illuminator, a visible/near IR (NIR) light camera, and a processor. The camera system may capture thermal images of the scene using the thermal imager, and analyze the thermal images to detect a presence and an attribute of an object in the scene. In response to the detection, various light sources may be selectively operated to illuminate the object only when needed or desired, with a suitable type of light source, with a suitable beam angle and width, or in otherwise desirable manner. The visible/NIR light camera may also be selectively operated based on the detection to capture or record surveillance images containing objects of interest.

Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for providing a wearable apparatus having an integrated infrared imaging module. In one example, a wearable apparatus implemented as a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may include a shield to protect a user from an external environment, one or more infrared imaging modules, a projector, a processor, and a communication module for projecting a user-viewable thermal image onto a surface of the shield. Such infrared imaging modules may be positioned internal to the SCBA for protection from a hazardous external environment. In another example, a wearable apparatus implemented as a welding mask may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a projector, a processor, and a communication module, so as to project a user-viewable thermal image onto a surface of a shield of the welding mask, while at the same time protecting these components and the welder's face from a harsh welding environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for operating a camera based the position, orientation, or motion of the camera. A system can include a firearm, a camera mounted to the firearm, a sensor that gathers sensor data associated with at least one of a position, an orientation, or a motion of the firearm, and a processor that receives the sensor data and operates the camera based on the sensor data. The system may be used to capture image data such as video image data in response to a detected ballistic event, to modify the power status of the camera in response to a detected position of the camera, or to operate a display of the camera in response to a non-ballistic motion of the camera.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting overexposure of skin to ultraviolet light. A system may include a thermal imaging module that captures thermal images of a person's skin. Using the thermal images, the system may determine whether the person's skin has been or is being overexposed to ultraviolet light. The system may be a fixed camera system for monitoring an outdoor area, may be a mobile device having a thermal imaging module within or coupled to the mobile device, or may be part of a tanning system having an ultraviolet light source and a thermal imaging module. The overexposure may be detected in a thermal image based on a temperature of the person's skin, a change in the temperature of the person's skin over time or a temperature difference between portions of the person's skin.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for displaying a panoramic view image includes transmitting video data from a plurality of sensors to a data processor and using the processor to stitch the video data from respective ones of the sensors into a single panoramic image. A focus view of the image is defined and the panoramic image is scrolled such that the focus view is centered in the display. A high resolution camera is aimed along a line corresponding to a center of the focus view of the image and an image produced by the camera is stitched into the panoramic image. A mapping function is applied to the image data to compress the data and thereby reduce at least the horizontal resolution of the image in regions adjacent to the side edges thereof.
