Abstract
A method for monitoring the use of cooking a cooking hobs, using an infrared imaging system to detect and classify at least one region of the hob to ascribe a characteristic to said region, to determine relevant criteria relating to that region, and to provide responses appropriate to deviations from those criteria.
Claims28
A method for monitoring the use of a cooking hob, the method comprising:
- (a) accessing a plurality of infrared images of the cooking hob;
- (b) processing one or more said images to distinguish different regions of the cooking hob;
- (c) classifying at least one of said regions based on temperature to ascribe a characteristic to that region;
- (d) determining relevant criteria applicable to that region depending upon characteristic;
- (e) processing further of said images to determine whether that region is deviating from its relevant criteria;
- and
- (f) providing one or more predetermined responses where that region deviates from its relevant criteria.
