    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for measuring changes in the vital signs of poultry and a method for predicting whether poultry is infected with pathogens using the same. The present disclosure can be helpfully used to determine an overall health condition including the outbreak of various poultry diseases by measuring quantitative changes in vital signs of poultry in real time. In particular, the present disclosure provides reliable real-time information about changes in vital signs through comparison of body temperature and noise measurement values of poultry for each time period reflecting circadian changes of the poultry, rather than simple comparison of the body temperature and noise measurement values with simple reference values, and thus can be used for early diagnosis of highly infectious pathogens such as avian influenza virus and early isolation of confirmed cases, and ultimately for effective prevention of the spread of diseases.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method of and system for a method of monitoring an object using thermal video data. The method comprises capturing thermal video images of a scene comprising the object using one or more thermal imaging cameras, and outputting a thermal video data stream to a processing apparatus. In the processing apparatus, the thermal video data stream is processed by performing a multivariate analysis of the thermal video data stream to generate one or more models of the behaviour of the object. The one or more models includes modelling of temporal development of a thermal signature of the object, and modelling of covariation of the thermal signature between different parts or regions of the scene. The processing comprises establishing one or more normal states of the object using observed data from the thermal video data stream and the one or more models, and comparing observed data from the thermal video data stream with the one or more normal states of the object to determine whether the object is a known condition or an unknown condition. An output signal from the processing apparatus if the object is determined to be in an unknown condition.

    Abstract: Thermal cameras exist at price points and volume manufacturing suitable for practical consideration of integration of thermal camera modules into host electronic devices, including automobiles, PED's—smartphones, tablets, etc. However, individual thermal cameras require extensive unit-specific data to provision and operate each individual camera with acceptable performance. This along with non-standard electrical interfaces, are adoption barriers to host device manufacturers, for example, where some devices, including some PED's, have become bus-based platforms allowing for functional modules to be packaged into common PED's and operated by way of apps. Some modern PED's, for example, include standard high-speed data busses and low-speed control busses. Devices and methods are disclosed for delivering compatibility with standard internal interfaces and storing the camera module's unit-specific data in a memory element on the camera module. The data can be read out on the same data bus used for thermal camera image data, either by selection between stored data and video output or by simultaneous streaming on different virtual channels. In a particular embodiment the logic element may be configured to write per pixel runtime data such as bias voltages on a runtime per pixel basis to the FPA as the FPA operates by accessing the memory element from a starting point address, wherein the starting point address may be at least one of predetermined or set by a host controller, thereby allowing the FPA to operate without local processing resources or per pixel communication with the host controller.
