interpretation of thermal paint

摘要

A method for analysing a thermal paint includes the step of defining a colour space in at least two dimensions, the dimensions representing different colours and/or luminance values. The location of reference points, representing calibration data, is defined within the colour space for comparison with colour information relating to a part to be analysed. Each pixel of an image of the part to be analysed is given a location in colour space and the nearest calibration reference point is determined. In this way, the approximate temperature of that point can be established. IMAGE
