Abstract
A graphical user interface for analyzing multiple thermal images is provided. The interface can be used to identify the temperatures at multiple points defined on multiple images. In some embodiments, the interface can simultaneously display temperature cursors overlaid on multiple images and provide simultaneous numerical identification of the temperatures corresponding to the area under the temperature cursors.
Claims20
A method for analyzing images received from a thermal imaging device, comprising:
- receiving data at a base computer from the imaging device, wherein the data corresponds to a plurality of thermal images of objects;
- displaying a plurality of images corresponding to the downloaded data on the base computer;
- and
- displaying a plurality of temperature cursors overlaid on the plurality of displayed images so that at least two images are displayed with overlaid temperature cursors at the same time.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium to be executed by a processor for analyzing images received from a thermal imaging device, the non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising:
- an instruction for receiving data at a base computer from the imaging device, wherein the data corresponds to a plurality of thermal images of objects;
- an instruction for displaying a plurality of images corresponding to the downloaded data on the base computer;
- and
- an instruction for displaying a plurality of temperature cursors overlaid on the plurality of displayed images so that at least two images are displayed with overlaid temperature cursors at the same time.
A system for analyzing images received from a thermal imaging device, the system comprising:
- a means for receiving data at a base computer from the imaging device, wherein the data corresponds to a plurality of thermal images of objects;
- a means for displaying a plurality of images corresponding to the downloaded data on the base computer;
- and
- a means for displaying a plurality of temperature cursors overlaid on the plurality of displayed images so that at least two images are displayed with overlaid temperature cursors at the same time.
A method for analyzing images received from a thermal imaging device, comprising:
- receiving data at a base computer from the imaging device, wherein the data corresponds to a plurality of thermal images;
- displaying a plurality of images corresponding to the data on the base computer;
- displaying a plurality of temperature cursors overlaid on the plurality of displayed images such that at least two images are concurrently displayed with overlaid temperature cursors;
- receiving a first command to define a displayed image as a parent image;
- receiving a second command to define a displayed image as a child image;
- receiving a third command to reposition a displayed temperature cursor overlaid on the parent image;
- and
- automatically repositioning a displayed temperature cursor overlaid on the child image based on the repositioning of the temperature cursor on the parent image.
A method for analyzing images received from a thermal imaging device, comprising:
- receiving data at a base computer from the imaging device, wherein the data corresponds to a plurality of thermal images;
- displaying a plurality of images corresponding to the data on the base computer;
- and
- displaying temperature information of a plurality of points such that temperature information is shown on least two images that are concurrently displayed.
