Popis: In thermographic measurements, quantitative surface temperature evaluation is often uncertain. The main reason is in the lack of available reference points in transient conditions. Reflective markers were used for automatic marker recognition and pixel coordinate computations. An algorithm selects marker icons to match marker references where particular luminance conditions are satisfied. Automatic marker recognition allows luminance compensation and temperature calibration of recorded infrared images. A biomedical application is presented: the dynamic behaviour of the surface temperature distributions is investigated in order to study the performance of two different pumping systems for extracorporeal circulation. Sequences of images are compared and results are discussed. Finally, the algorithm allows to monitor the experimental environment and to alert for the presence of unusual experimental conditions.
