Abstract
An image synthesis apparatus includes a right infrared camera and a left infrared camera; a right visible light camera and a left visible light camera; and a first image synthesis processing device for synthesizing data output from the right infrared camera and from the left infrared camera and data output from the right visible light camera and from the left visible light camera so that a three-dimensional thermal image and a three-dimensional visible light image are observed by an observer as overlapping each other.
Claims11
An image synthesis apparatus, comprising:
- a right infrared camera and a left infrared camera;
- a right visible light camera and a left visible light camera;
- and
- a first image synthesis processing device for synthesizing data output from the right infrared camera and the left infrared camera and data output from the right visible light camera and the left visible light camera so that a three-dimensional thermal image and a three-dimensional visible light image are observed by an observer as overlapping each other,
- wherein the three-dimensional thermal image comprises a plurality of color tones having a predetermined correspondence with a luminance represented by the data output from the right infrared camera and the data output by the left infrared camera,
- wherein a temperature of a subject can be inferred by the observer based on the predetermined color correspondence.
