Abstract
Various techniques are disclosed for providing a device attachment configured to releasably attach to and provide infrared imaging functionality to mobile phones or other portable electronic devices. The device attachment may include an infrared imagining module and a non-thermal imaging module that cooperate with one or more of a non-thermal imaging module in an attached device and a light source in the attached device for capturing and processing images.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a device attachment comprising:
- a housing;
- an infrared sensor assembly within the housing, the infrared sensor assembly configured to capture infrared image data;
- a first non-thermal camera module within the housing, the first non-thermal camera module configured to capture non-thermal image data;
- and
- a processing module communicatively coupled to the infrared sensor assembly and the first non-thermal camera module;
- and
- a user device releasably attached to the housing of the device attachment, the user device comprising:
- a second non-thermal camera module;
- and
- a light source, wherein the processing module is configured to cooperate with the infrared sensor assembly, the first non-thermal camera module in the device attachment and at least one of the second non-thermal camera module in the user device or the light source to capture and process images,
- wherein the processing module is configured to determine a parallax correction for the infrared sensor assembly and the first non-thermal camera module based on a first non-thermal image from the first non-thermal camera module and a second non-thermal image from the second non-thermal camera module.
