題目(Title) Thermal-Image-Based Categorization and Measurement; Case-Study on Vehicle Categorization and Food Calorie Measurement
概要(Abstract) Thermal signal and thermal image recently become another important and interesting information comparing with conventional signals representing brightness, sound, distance, etc. In some conditions such as nighttime, it is almost impossible to get brightness information to process and categorize object types. As a case study, thermal signal is regarded to be able to apply for vehicle-type categorization at night time and dark areas, since vehicles generally get heat from their engines, and their heat patterns can be categorized and recognized the vehicle types. Similarly, food that is normally cooked in the warm or even hot temperature level is regarded as possible to classify and recognize food types and their ingredients by using heat pattern. In this talk, research cases of nighttime vehicle-type categorization and food calorie measurement are explained and discussed in order to understand the trend of thermal signal applications.
