MATLAB: Calculate thermal fingertip image temperature

Image Acquisition Toolboximage processingthermal images

Hi…

I'm currently working on thermal image temperature calculation. here i have extracted fingertip of the hand and want to calculate the temperature what i have to do. can any one give me suggestion for this or give some good links

Thanks in advance…

You'll need to have a reader for the file your thermal camera outputs. There is no way to get it from a gray level - you need the actual temperature numbers, not gray levels, but your thermal camera should give the image in a proprietary format file where each number (pixel value) is the temperature.

You need to have something that identifies the regions, like a binary image or some coordinates. Then you can just do

meanTemperature = mean(thermalImage(binaryImage));

Assuming the video is grayscale (hopefully) you can get each frame, then do

maxValue = max(thisFrame(:));
[rows, columns] = find(thisFrame == maxValue);

That will give you the row(s) and column(s) where the brightest value (max temperature) occurs. If it's a pseudocolored video, then you'd need the color map and scan your frame and for each pixel determine which index in the colormap does that color appear.
