Abstract
An example method is performed by a thermal imaging device. The method includes capturing a thermal image of a vehicle and displaying the thermal image within a first region of a display of the thermal imaging device. The method further includes displaying information related to servicing the vehicle within a second region of the display that is distinct from the first region. Other example methods performed by a thermal imaging device are also disclosed herein.
Claims20
A method performed by a thermal imaging device, the method comprising:
- capturing a thermal image of a vehicle;
- displaying the thermal image within a first region of a display of the thermal imaging device;
- and
- displaying information related to servicing the vehicle within a second region of the display that is distinct from the first region.
A method performed by a thermal imaging device, the method comprising:
- capturing a thermal image;
- displaying the captured thermal image within a first region of a display of the thermal imaging device, wherein the displayed thermal image conforms to a first color palette that maps temperatures to a color or a brightness level;
- displaying one or more color palette icons within a second region of the display that is distinct from the first region, wherein the one or more color palette icons respectively represent additional color palettes that map temperatures to a color or a brightness level;
- receiving input representing a selection of a color palette icon of the one or more color palette icons;
- and
- displaying, within the first region, a thermal image that conforms to a second color palette that corresponds to the selected color palette icon.
A method performed by a thermal imaging device, the method comprising:
- capturing a first thermal image;
- displaying the first thermal image within a first region of a display of the thermal imaging device;
- displaying, within a second region of the display that is distinct from the first region, one or more second thermal images captured by the thermal imaging device, wherein the one or more second thermal images are compressed to be smaller than the first thermal image;
- receiving input representing a selection of a thermal image of the one or more second thermal images;
- and
- in response to receiving the input, replacing, within the first region of the display, the first thermal image with an enlarged version of the selected thermal image, wherein the enlarged version of the selected thermal image is equal in size to the displayed first thermal image.
