The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing information in images pictured by infrared cameras comprising the steps of receiving radiation from at least one object in an area; extracting radiometric information from the radiation; transforming the radiometric information into at least one digital image file; storing the at least one digital image file and at least one digital function file comprising an executable code characterised by the steps of merging the executable code of the at least one digital function file into or with the at least one digital image file, thereby generating an executable digital image file, wherein the executable code comprises at least one instruction and is written in a programming language independent of system architecture. The invention further relates to a computer program product. By this inventive concept is achieved a cross-platform compatibility of the executable digital images files that makes them independent of computer system architecture. New functions, like for example new alarm and measurement functions, are also easily implemented, retrieved and exchanged since the executable code, which governs the functionality, is accessible directly from within the executable digital image files themselves and exists in association with the file independent of to which system it has been transferred.
A method for processing information in images comprising the steps of receiving radiation from at least one object (4) in an area;
An apparatus for processing information in images comprising a lens assembly (10) arranged to receive radiation;
A computer program product for use in central processing unit (50) in a processing unit (40) of an apparatus (1) for processing information in images, which comprises computer readable code means, which when run in the CPU (50) causes the CPU (50) to perform the steps of:
