    Abstract: Imaging systems and methods are disclosed for generating enhanced visual representations of captured data such as infrared image data. For example, the perceived color distance or contrast between colors representing adjacent output levels (e.g., temperature or infrared intensity levels) are enhanced in visual representations of infrared images. According to embodiments, infrared image data values representing a scene may be mapped according to a color palette implemented using complementary colors as adjacent (e.g., successive) base colors or a sequence of colors, that repeats a predetermine set of hues with varying saturation and/or intensity, thereby increasing the color contrast between pixels representing subtle temperature differences in the scene. The color palette can be enlarged by mapping a larger number of distinct output levels to a larger sequence of colors, for example by increasing the bit-depth of the color palette, such that color transitions look smoother and more natural.

    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for monitoring electrical equipment. A system may include a camera having an ultraviolet light imaging module, an infrared light imaging module, a visible light imaging module, and a processor that combines image data from one or more of the imaging modules. The processor may detect anomalies such as hot spots, corona discharges or failures in the electrical equipment based on the image data. The system may include motion control components that move the camera with respect to the electrical equipment during monitoring operations. The motion control components may include components of a manned or unmanned vehicle that incorporates the camera.

    Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using small form factor infrared imaging modules to monitor occupants in an interior compartment of a vehicle. For example, a vehicle-mounted system may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a processor, a memory, alarm sirens, and a communication module. The vehicle-mounted system may be mounted on, installed in, or otherwise integrated into a vehicle that has an interior compartment. The infrared imaging modules may be configured to capture thermal images of desired portions of the interior compartments. Various thermal image processing and analytics may be performed on the captured thermal images to determine the presence and various attributes of one or more occupants. Based on the determination of the presence and various attributes, occupant detection information and/or control signals may be generated. Occupant detection information may be used to perform various monitoring operations, and control signals may adjust various vehicle components.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure may include an imaging system that allows for absolute radiometry of low dynamic range (LDR) radiometric images down-sampled from high dynamic range (HDR) radiometric thermal images. The imaging system may capture HDR images. The HDR images may be converted to LDR images by a transfer function. In certain embodiments, a video and/or a stream of HDR images may be captured. A sequence of frames may be defined for at least a plurality of the HDR images. Each of the HDR images of the sequence of frames may be converted to LDR images using the same transfer function.

    Abstract: Infrared imaging systems and methods disclosed herein, in accordance with one or more embodiments, provide for detecting petroleum in an infrared image. The detection involves the evaluation of local background model likelihoods in light of extracted pixel features as well as the evaluation of a global outlier model in light of extracted pixel features. Those pixels having a low likelihood for both their local background model as well as the outlier model are identified as corresponding to oil-contaminated water within the infrared image.
