Abstract
Wearable devices for taking symmetric thermal measurements. One device includes first and second thermal cameras physically coupled to a frame worn on a user's head. The first thermal camera takes thermal measurements of a first region of interest that covers at least a portion of the right side of the user's forehead. The second thermal camera takes thermal measurements of a second ROI that covers at least a portion of the left side of the user's forehead. Wherein the first and second thermal cameras are not in physical contact with their corresponding ROIs, and as a result of being coupled to the frame, the thermal cameras remain pointed at their corresponding ROIs when the user's head makes angular movements.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- first and second thermal cameras physically coupled to a frame configured to be worn on a user's head;
- the first thermal camera is configured to take thermal measurements of a first region of interest (THROI1), wherein ROI1 covers at least a portion of the right side of the user's forehead, the first thermal camera is located below ROI1, and the first thermal camera does not occlude ROI1;
- and
- the second thermal camera is configured to take thermal measurements of a second ROI (THROI2), wherein ROI2 covers at least a portion of the left side of the user's forehead, the second thermal camera is located below ROI2, and the second thermal camera does not occlude ROI2;
- wherein the overlap between ROI1 and ROI2 is below 80% of the smallest area from among the areas of ROI1 and ROI2, and as a result of being coupled to the frame, the thermal cameras remain pointed at their corresponding ROIs when the user's head makes angular movements.
A system comprising:
- first and second thermal cameras physically coupled to a frame configured to be worn on a user's head;
- the first thermal camera is configured to take thermal measurements of a first region of interest (THROI1), wherein ROI1 covers at least a portion of the right side frontal superficial temporal artery of the user;
- and
- the second thermal camera is configured to take thermal measurements of a second region of interest (THROI2), wherein ROI2 covers at least a portion of the left side frontal superficial temporal artery of the user;
- wherein the first and second thermal cameras are not in physical contact with their corresponding ROIs, and as a result of being coupled to the frame, the thermal cameras remain pointed at their corresponding ROIs when the user's head makes angular movements.
