Abstract :
Summary form only received as follows: This paper presents a new method to analyse dynamically the metabolizing status of the inner body on the basis of the body´s surface temperature distribution. The authors applied cold stimulation to the human body in a special place. They recorded the surface temperature distribution by infrared thermography in the process of temperature restoration after stimulation, and calculated the temperature time sequence data obtained from thermography. They used the system identification method of system control theory to define the pulse response sequence of body temperature control system. They then judged the inner metabolism function as normal or abnormal by analyzing that pulse response sequence.
