Abstract
A computing system may include a processor. The computing system may include a memory having a set of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to obtain, from an imaging sensor, an image, determine isothermal lines on the image, and determine a characteristic of a vehicle based on centroids of the isothermal lines.
Claims17
A control system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having a set of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the control system to:
- obtain, from an imaging sensor, an image;
- determine isothermal lines on the image;
- determine a characteristic of a vehicle based on centroids of the isothermal lines;
- mask at least one temperature-altering object that alters temperatures in the image, wherein the masking operation affects the determining of the isothermal lines on the image;
- and
- adjust the characteristic by adjusting an operating parameter of the vehicle,
- wherein the isothermal lines each form an ellipse.
At least one computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- obtain, from an imaging sensor, an image;
- determine isothermal lines on the image;
- determine a characteristic of a vehicle based on centroids of the isothermal lines;
- mask at least one temperature-altering object that alters temperatures in the image, wherein the masking operation affects the determining of the isothermal lines on the image;
- and
- adjust the characteristic by adjusting an operating parameter of the vehicle, wherein the isothermal lines each form an ellipse.
A machine comprising:
- an imaging sensor that obtains an image;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having a set of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the machine to:
