Referring to Fig. 3, the control of the information mode is as follows: In the present embodiment, the recording unit performs dynamic recording for correlating information on the continuous thermal image data frame with the specified subject information.

In step Α01, the control unit 10 detects whether the user selects the information mode; if so, proceeds to the next step. Instruction manual

Step A02, specify the subject information. The information specifying unit (control unit 10) is configured to specify the subject information based on the subject information to which the sorting order is stored, which is stored in the storage medium; for example, the subject information of the first bit in the sorting order is specified based on the sorting order" Substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase"; Further, the subject information may be specified according to an operation instruction for selecting the subject instruction information, such as the user can view the subject shown in FIG. 7 through the operation portion 11. In the instruction information, one of the subject instruction information is selected, and the control unit 10 specifies the subject information corresponding to the subject instruction information. In addition, the subject information may be specified according to the starting point of the previous default sorting order, for example, the last selected subject information at the time of the previous use as the currently designated starting point.

Obviously, the designation of the subject information may be performed before the dynamic recording, or in the dynamic recording, or the dynamic recording may be paused, the selection of the subject indication information is performed to specify the subject information, and then the dynamic recording is resumed. The specified subject information can be held in a predetermined area of the temporary storage unit 6 (a predetermined area for holding the specified subject information), wherein when there is previously specified subject information, When the subject information is held in the predetermined area, the subject information is represented as the designated subject information; if not, it represents that the subject information is not specified. Alternatively, the specified subject information may be additionally labeled to distinguish other subject information.

Step A03, the thermal image data frame obtained by the imaging unit 1 is transmitted to the temporary storage unit 6 _;

Step A04, the display unit 4 displays the infrared thermal image generated by the thermal image data frame, and particularly displays the subject indication information obtained by specifying the specified subject information. Specifically, the control image processing unit 2 synthesizes the image data of the infrared thermal image generated by the captured thermal image data frame and the image data of the subject indication information obtained by the specified subject information; The image data is stored in the temporary storage unit 6; then, the control and display unit 3 displays the synthesized image data on the display unit 4. Here, the common display of the subject indication information and the infrared thermal image in the display interface may be superimposed in the infrared thermal image and/or not superimposed on the infrared thermal image.

Specifically, for example, only the subject indication information obtained by the specified subject information is displayed. The subject indication information shown in Fig. 6 is "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment 1C phase". The subject indication information can be superimposed on the infrared thermal image in accordance with a prescribed transparency.

Specifically, for example, subject indication information obtained by displaying a predetermined number of subject information, in which a subject indication obtained by displaying the specified subject information is displayed in a display manner different from other subject indication information, is displayed. information. Preferably, the display control unit is configured to control the display unit 4 to display the infrared thermal image generated by the thermal image data frame, and to store based on the storage medium (determined by the task determination unit when there is a task determination step) The subject information of the sorting order, the subject indication information obtained by displaying a predetermined number of subject information in the sorting order, wherein the subject indication information obtained based on the selected subject information is displayed in particular. As shown in the display interface 701 in FIG. 7, the subject indication information obtained by displaying a predetermined number of subject information, the underline mark of "Substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase" is sorted to distinguish it from other shots. The body instruction information may be a special display mode different from the other subject instruction information by using a display position, a color, a background, a size, a font, a content, a character description, and the like which are easy for the user to recognize. In addition, other specified instruction information such as a specified number of subject indication information, progress information, and other indication information such as the date displayed on the display unit and the battery capacity may be displayed at the same time.

Further, the display control unit may hierarchically display the predetermined information for generating the subject instruction information in the subject information in accordance with the predetermined position. For example, based on the attribute information of the subject information stored in the storage medium, a predetermined number of subject information is displayed in accordance with the attribute information corresponding to the predetermined hierarchy and each level. For example, as shown in the subject information column 601 in the interface of FIG. 6, the display control unit divides the subject indication information into three layers according to the attribute information representing the substation, the equipment area, the device type, and the specified attribute of the phase. Position display; Compared with the subject information field 701 in the display interface in Fig. 7, it is apparent that the number of words in the same row is reduced, and the user can easily observe and select.

The subject instruction information obtained based on the subject information may be obtained by all or part of the subject information, and the information for obtaining the subject indication information in the subject information may be defined in advance. Composition.

The control unit 10 serves as a progress statistic unit for the number of subject information to which the sorting order is added and the currently selected subject, which are stored in accordance with the storage medium (when the task determining step is determined, based on the task determining unit) The information is used to count the shooting progress information; the control unit 10 controls the progress information to be displayed, as shown in the progress information 703 and 702 displayed in 701 of FIG. 7; Instruction manual

In the case where the sort order of the selected subject information has been displayed, the sort order may also constitute progress information with the total number of subject information displayed only "15".

The sort order corresponding to the subject information may or may not be displayed. In FIG. 7, the sequence indication information is displayed, and the sequence indication information may be obtained according to the sort order corresponding to the subject information.

In step A05, the control unit 10 determines whether there is a dynamic recording instruction. If not, the process returns to step A02. When the user indicates the information "substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase" according to the object in the display interface 701, the corresponding When the subject is photographed, when the dynamic recording key of the operation unit 11 is pressed, the control unit 10 responds to the recording operation, and proceeds to step A06.

Step A06, performing dynamic recording processing associated with the specified subject information; for example, reading a thermal image data frame to be subjected to recording processing from a predetermined area of the temporary storage unit 6 and performing the specified subject information Correlation, written in the dynamic thermal image file created by the dynamic recording in the storage medium. In a preferred embodiment, the recording unit is configured to continuously capture the captured thermal image data frame in a non-volatile storage medium (such as the memory card 8) by continuously recording the frame rate according to a predetermined recording frame rate. Assume that the recording frame rate below is 6 frames/second (1/6 second one frame). Different from the imaging of visible light, the thermal image data frame obtained by the thermal image shooting is mainly used for subsequent analysis, so that the subsequent basic playback dynamic effects can be ensured, and therefore, at a lower frame rate (usually 3-15) The frame/second recording frame rate is recorded, whereby the dynamic recording processing of the thermal image data frame having a large amount of data can be ensured, and the burden on the processing device can be reduced.

In one embodiment, when a predetermined recording timing (1/6 second) comes, the thermal image data frame to be recorded is selected and read from the thermal image data frame stored in the temporary storage unit 6, for example, from the temporary storage unit. The hot image data frame obtained by the instant shooting (the latest transmission to the temporary storage unit 6) is read in the predetermined area of 6, or predetermined processing such as correction, interpolation, cropping, pseudo color, conversion to temperature value, down pixel, compression is also performed. Processing one or more of the processing, the obtained thermal image data frame and the specified object information or also including necessary additional information (such as the time of the thermal image data frame, the radiance of the photograph, the environmental parameter) The temperature, humidity, shooting distance, algorithm for specifying processing, or also parameters related to the processing algorithm, etc.) are written to the dynamic thermal image file created by the memory card 8.

In addition, the specified recording frame rate can also be implemented by means of decimation. For example, if the frame rate of the captured thermal image data frame is 30 Hz, and the specified recording frame rate is 6 frames/second, one frame can be extracted according to 5 frames. Frame mode to achieve the specified recording frame rate.

The information related to the specified subject information may be all information or partial information of the subject information, for example, "Substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase" may be recorded, but "device area 1 device 1C phase may also be recorded" "; When the subject information also has information such as the number and model number, it is not displayed, but the number and model information can also be saved. Obviously, it is possible to pre-specify the associated information specifying all data frames such as substation 1 as the entire thermal image file.

The additional information such as the subject information may be written in the thermal image data frame as the header information of the corresponding thermal image data frame, or may be associated with the different subject information as described above, for example, The frame sequence information of the recorded thermal image data frame is associated with the object information, and is written as a component of the necessary file additional information, and is written into the dynamic thermal image file; or an information file or an index file associated with the dynamic thermal image file is generated. The frame timing information associated with the subject information and its corresponding thermal image data frame is included in the cable I file. The control unit 8 can generate the information file or the index file; the essence of the associated record is to record information necessary for subsequent batch analysis.

In step A07, the control unit 10 determines whether there is a switching operation of the operation unit 11, and if not, it jumps to step A09; if yes, it proceeds to the next step. When the user instructs the "Substation 1 Device Area 1 Device 1C Phase" according to the subject indication information in the display interface 601, dynamic recording of the corresponding subject thermal image is completed, and then the switching key 2 of the operation portion 11 is pressed. The button representing the switching operation realizes the one-button operation to complete the switching operation. Here, the user does not need to look at the object information shown on the display interface 702 for designation or searching, and the operation is simple.

In step A08, the control unit 10 determines whether the task is completed. Specifically, in one embodiment, the information specifying unit adds 1 to the sorting sequence number corresponding to the object information specified before the switching, and then determines whether the sorting sequence is completed. Specifying the last object information; if otherwise, the object information corresponding to the sort order number obtained after adding 1 is specified; in this embodiment, returning to step A02, the additional storage based on the storage medium The subject information of the sorting order is switched, and the designated subject information is switched in accordance with the sorting order, and switched to "Substation 1 device area 1 device 1B phase", and in step A04, the specified subject is switched. Subject designation letter obtained by information Description

The "substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment 1B phase" is specifically displayed. As shown in the display interface 702, the progress information 703 displayed in 701 changes to the progress information 704 displayed in 702. Then, the user can photograph the corresponding subject according to the subject indication information of the "Substation 1 Device Area 1 Device 1B Phase" which is specifically displayed, and correspondingly, in step A06, the recording unit will take the subject information "Substation". 1 Device Area 1 Device 1B Phase" is associated with the recorded thermal image data frame. Thereby, the designation of the subject is simple in the photographing by the user, and even the user does not need to select the subject indication information in the display section.

If so, the words "task completion" can be displayed on the screen, and then return to the normal mode of the thermal image device. In addition, you can also switch to the starting point of the specified sort order, such as the starting point of the sort order, for loop shooting. Or you may not judge whether the designation of the last subject information is completed, that is, the object information corresponding to the sort order number obtained by adding the sort order number plus one is specified, and if not found, continue to add 1 to search. Until the predetermined timing is exceeded, or until the control unit 10 receives the exit instruction, the information mode is ended.

Switching the specified subject information; in a preferred embodiment, the information specifying unit switches the single subject information specified before the switching to the next subject of the subject information in the sorting sequence information. For example, in this example, the subject information "Substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase" specified before switching is switched to the next subject information "Substation 1 device" of the subject information in the sort order sequence. Zone 1 device 1B phase".

Further, when the information specifying unit specifies the subject information and sorts the adjacent subject information by two or more: the information specifying unit sorts the adjacent subject information by a predetermined number specified before the switching, and switches to The subject information specified before the switching is sorted by the next subject information in the sorting order as the initial prescribed number to sort the adjacent subject information. For example, when "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment 1C", "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment 1B", "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment 1A Phase" are specified at the same time, in response to the switching operation, the designation "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment" will be switched. 2A", "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment 2B", "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment 2C phase".

Obviously, switching based on the sort order may be the order or reverse order of the sort order sequence, and may be specified to switch in the order of the sort order or in reverse order.

Obviously, the user can also reselect the specified subject information according to the displayed subject indication information. When new subject information is specified, the specified subject information and thermal image data are set in step A06. Frame association record.

In step A09, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the dynamic recording is ended. If not, the process returns to step A03, and the above steps are repeated. If so, for example, the user has performed the operation of ending the dynamic recording: Then, in step A10, the necessary file additional information such as the end mark or the like is written into the dynamic thermal image file to complete the dynamic thermal image file. Thereby, the user can easily perform photographing by the photographing path L8 shown in FIG. 8, and it is not easy to omit the subject, and the operation of switching the subject information is convenient, and the association of the subject information in the dynamic thermal image file is performed. Easy to implement.

As described above, the subject indication information and the infrared thermal image obtained by specifying the subject information and displaying the subject information on the display unit 4 by the plurality of subject information to which the sorting order is added, the user The specially displayed subject indication information is used as the indication information of the currently photographed subject, and the recognition of the subject or the device identification card reduces the case of erroneous shooting; when the dynamic recording operation is performed, the recording is responded to The operation performs continuous correlation recording on the information related to the specified object information of the infrared data frame, and when the switching operation is issued, responds to the switching operation, that is, the specified object information is switched according to the sorting order, and the sorting order is achieved. The purpose of prompting the user to the subject that is currently required to be photographed is ensured, and the efficiency of photographing is improved, and the specified subject information is recorded in association with the thermal image data frame that is dynamically recorded later, and the operation is simple. Obviously, with the switching operation of the user and the photographing of the corresponding subject, the recording unit correspondingly records the associated subject information with the thermal image data frame continuously recorded during the designation of the subject information, In this way, it is easy to record the subject information in dynamic shooting, and the operation is extremely simple: in the subsequent analysis and viewing, although the amount of data of the dynamic thermal image file is large, since the object information is associated with the shooting, according to The retrieval of the object information to obtain the corresponding thermal image data frame is very easy to view, and the analysis data is also very detailed, solving the prior art problem.

Example 2 Instruction manual

In the thermal imaging device 13 of the second embodiment, before the official shooting, the task data file including the subject information corresponding to the substation 1 as shown in FIG. 12 is stored in advance in the flash memory 9, and further includes other substations. The task data file of the subject information. This application scenario captures, for example, the subject 1 of the substation 1. In the past, because the purpose of detection was different, there were detections of all subjects in the entire station, and detection of specific types of subjects. These specific types of subjects were distributed in different equipment areas, requiring users to search, which is very inconvenient. If the subject information to be shot is used as a filter condition, it can be easily taken by the user. Further, there is further provided an order determining unit for determining a sort order of the subject information determined by the task determining unit.

The control procedure of the dynamic recording processing will be described with reference to FIG.

In step B01, the control unit 10 detects whether or not the information mode is selected, and if so, proceeds to step B02.

Step B02, determining the subject information, the task determining unit determines the subject information based on the plurality of subject information stored in the storage medium, and the determined subject information is used to specify the subject information therefrom; The illustration of Figure 10. In this example, filtering is performed according to the filter condition "Device 1", and the object information determined after filtering is as shown in FIG.

Step B03, the order determining unit is configured to determine a sort order of the object information determined by the task determining unit according to a predetermined sorting factor; the sorting factor may be a sorting order or a sorting rule.

For example, when the sorting order information is attached to the subject information, the sorting order of the subject information can be determined based on the sorting order information attached to the subject information;

For example, when the sorting order information is not attached to the object information, the object information may be sorted according to a predetermined sorting rule to determine a sorting order; for example, the object information is sorted according to the keyword and its corresponding sorting factor, The sorting rules are, for example, a numerical sorting rule, an alphabetic sorting rule, a Chinese pinyin sorting rule, a Chinese stroke sorting rule, a time, and the like, and a sorting rule obtained by the user manually sorting the keyword. Specifically, the ranking determining unit is configured to extract a keyword from the subject information determined by the task determining unit, and sort the subject information according to the sorting rule of the keyword to determine the subject information. Sort order. When there are a plurality of keywords, sorting is performed according to the first keyword and its sorting factor, and then the subject information having the same first keyword is sorted according to the second keyword and its sorting factor, and so on.

In this example, for example, the sorting factors of the keywords may be sorted, and then the object information obtained by the sorting and the corresponding sort order information thereof are stored in a storage medium (e.g., the temporary storage unit 6 or the memory card 8). The sorting rule may be pre-stored in the thermal image device 13, and may be a default sorting rule; or may be a sorting rule set by the user; preferably, the thermal image device 13 has a sorting setting portion for the user to set the subject. The sorting factor of the information (the keyword related to the sorting of the subject, and the sorting factor of the keyword), the keyword can have one or more keywords.

The sorting setting of the subject information shown in Fig. 12 is explained with reference to Fig. 15. When the menu mode is entered and the "sorting setting" is selected, the display section 4 displays the sorting setting column interface as exemplified in Fig. 15. The sort setting unit searches for the first keyword that obtains the attribute information of the specified attribute in the subject information based on the subject information shown in FIG. 12, determines the ranking factor of the first keyword based on the user's operation, and then based on The first keyword selected by the user is used as a query condition to query the second keyword and determine the ranking factor of the second keyword, and so on. The device area setting item 601, the device type setting item 602, and the setting item 603 are menu items configured to represent keyword query and sorting factor settings; when the device area setting item 601 is selected, the control unit 10 queries the a keyword of the attribute information of the device area attribute of the camera information, obtaining a device area keyword (first keyword) list 605; and then based on the first keyword set by the user (device area 1, device area 2, device area 3 The sort order between the to determine the ordering factor of the first keyword. The sorting order in the sorting list 604 may be the entered number, or the keywords in the device area keyword list 605 may be selected, and the sorting order may be set by a cross key or a touch screen drag operation. Then, when the user selects the device area 1, the control unit 10 determines the device area 1 (one of the first keywords, the keyword indicated by the underline in the keyword list 605) as the keyword query condition; the control unit 10 passes Querying device type attribute information of the subject information that meets the "device area 1" keyword query condition, obtaining the device type attribute information keyword (second keyword), displaying the device type keyword list 607, the user pair Description

The sorting of the device types is set to obtain the sorting order in the sorting list 606; thereafter, the control unit 10 uses "device 1" selected by the user as one of the keyword query conditions (underlined in the device type keyword list 607) Keyword), the control unit 10 obtains the device-specific keyword list 609 by querying device-specific attribute information of the subject information that meets the "device area 1" and "device I" keyword search conditions, The other sorts are set to obtain the sort order in the sort list 608. Then, the device type in the device area 1, the device area 2, the device area 3, and the device sorting can be set in the same manner; the sorting factors of the set subject information can be recorded in the temporary storage unit 6, etc. For example, a data file to which the object information of the sorting order is attached is generated, or a configuration file of the sorting rule may be generated for later use. Query the keyword of the attribute information of the specified attribute to set the sorting factor. The advantage is that it avoids displaying a large amount of subject information and the sorting order of the corresponding setting on the display part, which brings inconvenience of the adjustment order, and is searched by the keyword. The condition further simplifies the sorting keywords obtained by the query and avoids the inconvenience of sorting settings caused by the display of redundant information.

Further, in another embodiment, the subject indication information generated by the predetermined number of subject information is displayed on the display unit, and as shown by 1401 in FIG. 14, the subject indication information and the subject information can be displayed according to a default ranking factor. The preliminary sorting order determines the sorting order by the cross key or the touch screen, the drag operation to sort the subject indication information, or determines the sort order by inputting the serial number to the displayed subject indication information. In this manner, in this manner, the sort order shown in 1402 in Fig. 14 and its corresponding subject information are obtained.

Step B04, specify the subject information.

The information specifying unit (control unit 10) is configured to specify the subject information from the subject information determined by the task determining unit; for example, the subject information of the first position in the sorting order "Substation 1 device area 1 device 1C phase" Designate and proceed to the next step.

Step B05, the thermal image data frame obtained by the imaging unit 1 is transmitted to the temporary storage unit 6;

Step B06, the display unit 4 displays the infrared thermal image generated by the thermal image data frame, and particularly displays the subject indication information obtained by the specified subject information.

In step B07, the control unit 10 determines whether there is a dynamic recording instruction, and if not, returns to step B04; if so, in step B08, dynamic recording processing is performed to set a predetermined infrared data frame with information on the specified subject information. Make an associated record. Then proceed to step B09.

In step B09, the control unit 10 determines whether there is a switching instruction. If not, the process jumps to step B11. If there is a switching instruction, the control unit 10 determines whether the task is completed in step B10. If not, the process returns to step B04. , switching the specified subject information in the sort order, repeating the above processing. If so, in step B12, the necessary file additional information (such as the end identifier, etc.) is written into the dynamic thermal image file to complete the dynamic thermal image file. Thus, when the user photographs the device 1 in the device area 1, it will go to the device 1 in the shooting device area 3, avoiding the search for the device 1 in the device area 2, and the shooting path is changed from L8 in Fig. 8 to L16 in Fig. 16.

The determination processing of the subject information by the task determination unit will be described with reference to Fig. 10 .

Step S101, displaying a file name of a task data file in a storage medium such as the flash memory 9, and generally assigning objects in different shooting destinations into a plurality of task data files (task packages), for example, according to the substation, each The subject information of the substation is pre-programmed into a task data file.

Step S102, determining whether the user has selected one of them, if one or more of the selected ones are selected, the process proceeds to step S103; if not, the process returns to step S101.

Step S103, next, the task determination unit determines the task data file related to the shooting based on the user's selection.

Step S104, Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is a predetermined filter condition. If yes, the process proceeds to step S105. If not, the subject information in the selected task data file is determined.

In step S105, if there is a filter condition, the subject information in the task data file that meets the filter condition is determined according to the specified filter condition. In the above embodiment, the subject information is assigned as a plurality of task data files. If the subject information is stored in the form of a database, or a task data file, steps S101-S103 may be omitted. Instruction manual

Preferably, the thermal imaging device 13 has a filter condition setting unit (for example, the control unit 10, the operation unit 11, and the display unit 4) for setting a filter condition by the user, and a task determination unit for storing based on the storage medium. The subject information determines the subject information that meets the filter condition based on the filter condition.

The setting operation of the filter condition will be described with reference to FIG. When the user enters the menu mode and selects "Filter Settings", the display unit 4 displays the filter condition setting column interface as shown in FIG.

Filter conditions consist of keywords and filter logic relationships related to filter conditions. The filter condition setting unit includes a keyword determining unit, wherein the keyword determining unit is configured to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition, and a logic determining unit, configured to determine a filtering of the keyword related to the filtering condition Logic.

A keyword related to a filter condition, which may be a keyword or multiple keywords; wherein, multiple keywords include cases representing a range of keywords, such as a range of numbers, a range of letters, a time range, and the like. In addition, when the subject information has a belonging unit related to the subject, a classification level (such as a voltage level, an important level, etc.), a model, a manufacturer, a performance and characteristics, a history of past shooting or overhaul, a date of manufacture, When various information such as the expiration date is used, the keyword can be determined by setting a keyword, but the information is not necessarily used to generate the object indication information that is specifically displayed.

The keyword determining unit is configured to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition: for example, one or more of the following embodiments may be combined to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition. An embodiment, such as a pre-stored keyword, determines a keyword related to the filter condition based on the user's selection. An embodiment, for example, one or all of the keywords associated with the filter condition by default. In one embodiment, for example, a keyword is entered by a user, and a keyword entered by the user is determined as a keyword related to the filter condition. An embodiment, for example, provides a selection of a keyword attribute for selection, and based on the keyword attribute selected by the user, determines a keyword that matches the keyword attribute as a keyword related to the filter condition. In a preferred embodiment, based on the stored subject information, a keyword for obtaining attribute information of a specified attribute in the subject information is queried, and a keyword related to the filter condition is determined based on the user's selection.

The specific setting operation of the filter condition is explained by taking the subject of the "device 1" type as an example. Specifically, the display unit 4 displays a filter condition setting interface as illustrated in Fig. 8, a substation 803, a device area 804, a device type 805, and the like, and a keyword menu item of a keyword query configured to represent attribute information of a prescribed attribute. When the subject information as shown in FIG. 4 is stored, the control unit 10 searches for the subject information stored in the storage medium based on the device type 805 selected by the user based on the current "device 1", and obtains the specified attribute. (device type) The attribute information of the keyword "device 1, device 2, ..." causes the display list 806, from which the user selects "device 1", the keyword determination unit, determines "device 1" as Filter related keywords.

In addition, the selected attribute information of the previous keyword menu item may also be used as a filtering condition of the subsequent keyword menu item. For example, if the user selects the substation 803, the list of substations is displayed, from which the substation 1 is selected, when the device type is selected. 805, will only display a list that matches the device type in substation 1.

a logic determining unit, configured to determine a filtering logical relationship of a keyword related to the filtering condition; the filtering logical relationship refers to a filtering condition of the keyword when the keyword related to the filtering condition is a keyword; When multiple keywords are used, the combination of multiple, or non-logical relationships and filtering non-relationships between multiple keywords; filtering between non-relational and logical relationships between keywords can be default or used Set to determine.

The "Yes" 801 and "Non" 802 options for shooting conditions are used to set the filter to be non-relational; when "Yes" is selected, the filter condition generated by the keyword "Device 1" is used for subsequent search and determination to match "Device 1""Subject information as a shooting task: When "Non" is selected, the filter condition generated by the keyword "Device 1" is used for subsequent search to determine the subject information that matches the non-"Device 1". In this example, the logic determination unit determines the filter right and wrong relationship as "yes" according to the default filter yes or no relationship. Then, when the user makes a determination by the operation unit 11, when the task is determined, the subject information matching the keyword "device 1" is searched for as the determined subject information. Obviously, you can also select multiple keywords as filters. Instruction manual

The filter condition may be determined according to the user setting (not shown), or may be stored in advance, and the filter condition generated according to the user setting may be recorded in the temporary storage unit 6 or recorded in the flash memory 9 or the like, for example, as a configuration file. Used as a later use.

The subject information illustrated in Fig. 13 represents a task determining unit (control unit 10) for determining the match based on the filter condition "device 1" based on the object information (in Table 4) stored in the storage medium. The subject information obtained by filtering the subject information of the condition.

The subject indication information obtained based on the filtered subject information displayed on the display interface shown in FIG. Obviously, the subject indication information that the user needs to select is limited to the device type of "Device 1", which makes the operation simple and not easy to make mistakes.

As described above, filtering and sorting the subject information based on the pre-stored subject information can reduce the display of redundant information, and the displayed subject indication information is more instructive, and the displayed subject is displayed. The body instruction information is easy to adjust the sorting order, simplifies the shooting path, specifies the subject information, and simultaneously displays the infrared thermal image and the specially displayed subject indication information on the display unit, and the user specifically displays the subject. The indication information is used as the indication information of the currently photographed subject, the recognition of the subject or the viewing of the device identification card, the case of erroneous shooting is reduced; and then the designated subject information is switched in accordance with the determined sorting order, Special display of the subject indication information in the sort order will greatly reduce the wrong path or clutter, ensuring that no omissions are made; thereby improving the efficiency of shooting and reducing the work intensity. Obviously, when setting various different filtering conditions, it will bring great convenience to the user's shooting. For example, when the subject information has the attribute information of the history (such as the past defect condition), the user can quickly find the relevant information of the defective subject by querying the defect, which is convenient for re-examination. Obviously, with the switching operation of the user and the photographing of the corresponding subject, the dynamic recording portion correspondingly records the associated subject information with the thermal image data frame continuously recorded during the designation of the subject information. In this way, it is convenient to record subject information in dynamic shooting and facilitate subsequent analysis.

Example 3

The thermal image device of the third embodiment is for performing a designation operation of the subject information (including switching the subject information in the sorting order) in a state where the dynamic recording and/or the freeze display are suspended.

Referring to Fig. 17, the control flow of the thermal image device 100 will be described. The steps are as follows:

Step C01, acquiring a thermal image data frame, and transmitting the thermal image data frame obtained by the imaging unit 1 to the temporary storage unit 6;

In step C02, the thermal image data frame obtained by the image capturing unit 1 for example, or a predetermined number of subject information, for example, is read in the temporary storage unit 6, and display processing is performed and displayed.

In step C03, the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is a dynamic recording instruction, and if so, determines in step C04 whether or not the subject information is specified. If yes, in step C05, the acquired thermal image data frame is subjected to predetermined processing according to a predetermined frame frequency, and recorded in association with the object information, and the dynamic thermal image file created in the storage medium is written; if not, then Step C06, after the obtained thermal image data frame is subjected to predetermined processing according to a predetermined frame frequency, writing the dynamic thermal image file created in the storage medium;

Step C07, judging whether there is a pause indication? When the user presses the pause button, proceeds to step C08;

Step C08, suspending dynamic recording processing;

Step C09, specifying the subject information, for example, when shooting a certain subject, switching the specified subject information, switching to the next subject information in the sorting sequence; obviously, The subject information is specified in a manner of selecting the subject instruction information.

Step C 10, judge whether to confirm? If yes, in step C11, it is judged whether it is finished. If not, the process returns to step C01, and in step C05, the dynamic recording process is resumed, and the acquired thermal image data frame and the newly designated subject information are associated with each other. In a new dynamic thermal image file created on the storage medium.

If it is finished, in step C12, the necessary file additional information (such as the end mark, etc.) is written into the dynamic thermal image file to complete the dynamic thermal image file. Instruction manual

Obviously, since the designation of the object information is performed while the dynamic recording is suspended, the amount of redundant data of the recorded thermal image data frame can be reduced; the user can verify the quality of the thermal image data frame again and specify The correctness of the subject information can improve the quality of the shot. Moreover, when the dynamic recording is suspended, it is apparent that the display unit 4 can display the infrared thermal image obtained by the held thermal image data frame and the predetermined number of subject indication information in response to the pause indication, or display as dynamic infrared. The thermal image and a predetermined number of subject indication information; or switching to display only a prescribed number of subject indication information. Among them, in a preferred manner, a predetermined number of subject indication information is displayed in a predetermined sort order (e.g., the order of photographing).

Example 4

Although the present invention is applied to the thermal imaging device 100 having a photographing function in Embodiment 1, the function of photographing the obtained thermal image data frame is not indispensable for the present invention, and the present invention is also applicable to external reception and processing. Thermal image processing device for thermal image data frames, etc. The third embodiment uses the thermal image processing device 100 as an example of the infrared dynamic video recording device S.

Referring to Fig. 18, a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of an embodiment of an infrared dynamic video recording system in which the thermal image processing apparatus 100 and the thermal image apparatus 101 are connected.

The thermal image processing device 100 has a communication interface 1, an auxiliary storage unit 2, display units 3, and AM4. The hard disk 5 and the operation unit 6 are connected to the above-described components via a bus and are integrally controlled by the CPU 7. As the thermal image processing device 100, a personal computer, a personal digital assistant, a display device used in conjunction with a thermal imaging device, and the like can be exemplified.

The communication interface 1 is configured to continuously receive the thermal image data frame output by the thermal imaging device 101; wherein, the receiving comprises transmitting the thermal image data frame output by the thermal imaging device 101 (transmitted by the relay device) The thermal image data frame; at the same time, can also serve as a communication interface for controlling the thermal imaging device 101. Here, the communication interface 1 includes various wired or wireless communication interfaces on the thermal image processing apparatus 100, such as a network interface, a USB interface, a 1394 interface, a video interface, and the like.

The auxiliary storage unit 2 is a storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a memory card and an associated interface.

The display unit 3 may be a liquid crystal display, and the display unit 3 may be another display connected to the thermal image processing device 100, and the thermal image processing device 100 itself may have no display in its electrical configuration.

The RAM 4 functions as a buffer memory for temporarily storing the thermal image data frame received by the communication interface 1, and functions as a working memory of the CPU 7, and temporarily stores data processed by the CPU 7.

The hard disk 5 stores programs for control and various data used in the control.

The thermal image processing apparatus 100 receives the thermal image data frame output from the thermal imaging apparatus 101 connected to the thermal image processing apparatus 100 via the communication interface 1 based on the control of the CPU 7. The CPU 7 also performs a function of the image processing unit for performing predetermined processing on the received thermal image data frame to obtain image data of the infrared thermal image, and the predetermined processing such as correction, interpolation, pseudo color, synthesis, compression, decompression Etc., conversion is performed to a process suitable for data for display, recording, and the like. The CPU 7 is configured according to different formats of the thermal image data frames, for example, when the received thermal image data frame is compressed thermal image AD data, and the specified processing, such as CPLJ7, decompresses the thermal image data frame received by the acquisition unit. And performing corresponding prescribed processing; in one embodiment, the corresponding prescribed processing such as pseudo color processing after decompressing the compressed thermal image AD data is used to obtain image data of the infrared thermal image, and further, the prescribed processing is also performed after the decompressed heat Various processing such as correction and interpolation of data frames is performed. Another embodiment, for example, when the received thermal image data frame itself is already image data of the compressed infrared thermal image, is decompressed to obtain image data of the infrared thermal image. Yet another embodiment, for example, when the communication interface 1 receives an analog infrared thermal image, controls the image data of the digital thermal image that will be converted by the associated AD conversion circuit AD.

The thermal image device 101 may be various types of thermal image capturing devices for photographing an object and outputting a thermal image data frame. An electrical block diagram of the thermal imaging device 101 in Fig. 12 is composed of a communication interface 10, an imaging unit 20, a flash memory 30, an image processing unit 40, a RAM 50, a CPU 60, and the like. The CPU 60 controls the overall operation of the thermal imaging device 101, and the flash memory 30 stores control programs and various data used in the control of each part. The imaging unit 20 includes an optical member, a driving member, a thermal image sensor, and a signal preprocessing circuit (not shown) for capturing Description

It is like a data frame. The thermal image data frame is temporarily stored in the RAM 50, and then subjected to predetermined processing (e.g., compression processing, etc.) by the image processing unit 40 (e.g., DSP) to obtain a thermal image data frame, which is output via the communication interface 10. Here, the thermal image device 101 is used for photographing and outputting a thermal image data frame, which functions similarly to the photographing portion 1 in the thermal image device 100.

Fig. 19 is a view showing an implementation of a thermal image processing system in which the thermal image processing apparatus 100 and the thermal image apparatus 101 are connected. The thermal imaging device 101 is connected to the thermal image processing apparatus 100 by means of a pan-tilt or the like that is mounted on the detection vehicle, via a communication line such as a dedicated cable, or a wired or wireless LAN. The user views and monitors the subject thermal image through the thermal image processing apparatus 100. The thermal imaging device 101 is connected to the thermal image processing device 100 to constitute an infrared dynamic recording system in the embodiment for capturing an object.

The configuration other than the imaging unit 1 from the thermal imaging device 13 is substantially the same as that of the thermal image processing device 100, and it is apparent that the embodiment described in the above embodiment is also applicable to the present embodiment by receiving and acquiring a thermal image data frame. Therefore, the description of the embodiment is omitted. Obviously, the thermal image processing device 100 can be used in combination with various thermal image mounting devices having thermal image capturing functions such as various hand-held thermal image mounting devices.

The above embodiments are preferred embodiments. Of course, it is not necessary to achieve all of the advantages described above while implementing any of the embodiments of the present invention.

In a preferred embodiment, the additional information of the thermal image data frame or the like may also be associated with the frame timing of the corresponding frame, all temporarily stored in the temporary storage portion, and all of the dynamic thermal image files are written once at the end of the dynamic recording. For quick follow-up search.

Dynamic recording is not limited to generating dynamic thermal image files; in one example, consecutively recorded thermal image data frames can each generate a thermal image file containing a thermal image data frame and associated additional information and stored in a specific folder. The extension of the file generated by the markup frame is different from other frames.

It can also be used as a component or a functional module in a thermal imaging device with a photographing function or a thermal image processing device, and also constitutes an embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the display control unit or the like can be omitted as a part of the thermal image device 13 or the thermal image processing device, and also constitutes the present invention.

In the above examples, descriptions are made in a certain order of steps, but there may be various orders according to different embodiments, and are not limited to the processing order described in the above examples. For example, when one or more of the control unit 10, the image processing unit 2, and the like are divided into a plurality of processors, there may be parallel processing to which some steps are applied. Variations in the various processing orders can be made by those skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention, and such variations are within the scope of the invention.

The switching instruction in the above embodiment is generated according to the switching operation of the user; when not limited thereto, for example, the control unit 10 may also switch the condition based on the specified; for example, when it is judged that the predetermined time interval, for example, the temperature in the thermal image, is satisfied When the value exceeds a predetermined threshold value, for example, a predetermined switching condition such as a trigger signal of another sensor device connected to the thermal image device 13 is detected, even if there is no switching operation, the switching designation process is automatically performed, and the predetermined switching condition includes, even if The switching operation is performed, but the switching of the specified processing is performed when other predetermined conditions are satisfied at the same time, for example, the specified time interval is met.

Since the amount of data of the thermal image data frame is large, in order to reduce the amount of data of the recorded thermal image data frame, the control unit 8 functions as a pause control unit for responding to a predetermined operation (such as pressing a pause button). The dynamic recording processing is suspended, and in the state where the recording is paused, the dynamic recording processing is continued in response to a prescribed operation (for example, pressing the pause button again). It facilitates the management and processing of subsequent dynamic thermal image files.

Obviously, the recording frame rate does not have to be fixed. Preferably, the thermal imaging device 100 further has a recording frame rate control unit for automatically starting when the recording processing speed does not reach the set recording frame rate. Perform adaptive control of the recording frame rate, or further prompt the user to change the recording frame rate.

In addition, the size of the dynamic thermal image file may be further specified, that is, whether the predetermined dynamic thermal image file size is reached, and if so, the dynamic thermal image file is completed, and a new dynamic thermal image file is created, and the subsequent recorded thermal image is generated.
