Abstract:
Detection of different kind of objects by machine vision system is widely used and it can have many purposes. However, different scenarios, where illumination and weather conditions can vary, have great effect on detection quality. In good lighting conditions, systems with an operating range in the visible region of the spectrum, can be used for detection of the objects. In low-light conditions, these systems provide poor results, and in that purpose thermal imaging systems can be used. These systems are based on thermography technique that enables visualization of radiation in the IR region. In this paper, the state-of-the art in detection of the objects in different scenarios and applications using thermal imaging systems, such as thermal camera, is presented.
