Abstract

A new automatic tracking and measuring system for human surface temperature with infrared thermography is developed. Infrared thermography image is often measured fastening a human body with special tools. Introducing Kinect depth and color image, human body skeleton frame tracking is obtained. Applying homogeneous matrix from Kinect depth and color plane to thermography image plane, both image can be overlapped and body parts are classified automatically. Fastening belt is not necessary any more. As a result, facial surface temperature without mouth is automatically measured every 250 milliseconds for more than one hour.
