Hi,

This week you'll learn about Thermal Vision: Measuring Your First Temperature from an Image with Python and OpenCV.

Image

In today's tutorial, we will learn HOW to MEASURE TEMPERATURES from a THERMAL image, video, and camera using OpenCV and Python.…

Not interested enough? 😏

Please, keep reading!

In the previous tutorial, you learned about INFRARED / NIGHT VISION imaging and its technology.

Today you'll directly work with thermal images to measure your FIRST TEMPERATURE on an image following these 4 easy steps:

  1. Thermal imaging formats: Gray8 vs. Gray16 
  2. Measuring your first temperature from a thermal image
  3. Measuring your first temperature from a thermal video
  4. Measuring your first temperature from a thermal camera

But before starting the class, we need you to answer the following question (if you think you can…):

HOW CAN thermal images/cameras give us the temperature value of each pixel scene only by using images?

HOW IS this useful information, that allows industry professionals to detect fires, a fiver, or electronic heat issues, codified?

We are sure that you probably do not know the answer 😏

But we are quite certain that following today's tutorial, you'll be able to answer these questions (even though you will apply this awesome knowledge in your projects by only investing 10-15 minutes of your time).

The big picture: Today, you will learn how to measure temperatures using just images!

How it works: Thermal images are increasingly used in industrial production, chemistry, electronics, medicine, autonomous vehicles, special rescue operations, and many more applications. You just need to follow this class to be a part of all this.

Our thoughts: Within 10-15 minutes, you'll understand how the temperature is codified and measured.

Yes, but: "I don't have a thermal image, video, or camera.…" There is no excuse: as always, at PyImageSearch, we will provide you with all the necessary materials.

Stay smart: In the following classes, we will learn to apply this knowledge to estimate the body temperature (e.g., for COVID-19 temperature access control) and detect objects at night using Computer Vision and Deep Learning!
