Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring and controlling using small infrared imaging modules to enhance occupant safety and energy efficiency of buildings and structures. In one example, thermal images captured by infrared imaging modules may be analyzed to detect presence of persons, identify and classify power-consuming objects, and monitor environmental conditions. Based on the processed thermal images, various power-consuming objects (e.g., an HVAC system, lighting, a water heater, and other appliances) may be controlled to increase energy efficiency. In another example, thermal images captured by infrared imaging modules may be analyzed to detect various hazardous conditions, such as a combustible gas leak, a CO gas leak, a water leak, fire, smoke, and, an electrical hotspot. If such hazardous conditions are detected, an appropriate warning may be generated and/or various objects may be controlled to remedy the conditions.

Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for providing systems for providing alignment guide information to selectively direct a visible light source to substantially align the visible light source with a desired subject and to project a visible light beam substantially on the desired subject. For example, a system may include a small form factor infrared imaging module to capture thermal images of a scene, which may be received by a processor to generate alignment guide information such as a user-viewable image of the scene, a user-viewable cue, and a framing reticle. In another example, such a system may be implemented as a camera. In yet another example, such a system may be implemented as a spotlight.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using small form factor infrared imaging modules to monitor aspects of a power system. A system may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a processor, a memory, a display, a communication module, and modules to control components of a power system. Infrared imaging modules may be mounted on, installed in, or otherwise integrated with a power system having one or more power system components. The infrared imaging modules may be configured to capture thermal images of portions of the power system. Various thermal image analytics and profiling may be performed on the captured thermal images to determine the operating conditions and temperatures of portions of the power system. Monitoring information may be generated based on the determined conditions and temperatures and then presented to a user of the power system.

Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using small form factor infrared imaging modules to monitor various components of a vehicle wheel assembly. For example, a vehicle-mounted system may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a processor, a memory, a display, a communication module, and a vehicle speed sensor. The vehicle-mounted system may be mounted on, installed in, or otherwise integrated into a vehicle that has one or more wheel assemblies. The one or more infrared imaging modules may be configured to capture thermal images of desired portions of the wheel assemblies. Various thermal image analytics and profiling may be performed on the captured thermal images to determine the operating condition of various components of the wheel assemblies and to detect abnormalities. Monitoring information may be generated based on the detected condition and abnormalities, and presented to a driver or other occupants onboard the vehicle in real time.
