Abstract
Disclosed and described herein is a system and a method for thermal detection of static and moving objects.
Claims26
A device for thermal detection of static and moving objects comprising:
- a thermal sensor;
- and
- at least one mask in proximity to the sensor, wherein movement of at least one of the at least one mask and the thermal sensor causes the thermal sensor to create an active compressive sampling signal and wherein the at least one mask and the thermal sensor are stationary relative to one another and the at least one mask and the thermal sensor are both moved simultaneously to cause the thermal sensor to create the active compressive sampling signal.
A method of thermal detection of static and moving objects comprising:
- providing a thermal sensor;
- and
- providing at least one mask in proximity to the sensor;
- and
- creating an active compressive sampling signal by moving at least one of the at least one mask and the thermal sensor, wherein the at least one mask and the thermal sensor are stationary relative to one another and the at least one mask and the thermal sensor are both moved simultaneously to cause the thermal sensor to create the active compressive sampling signal.
