Abstract

A time series collected by thermal cameras yields many application possibilities for security monitoring applications. The character of features involved in thermal images is different compared to the images acquired by conventional capturing devices; many methods applicable for conventional image processing cannot directly be applied for thermal images. New methods are introduced in HOSVD based representation of thermal images, and in application of resolution enhancement and data compression. The retrieval process of thermal image databases and useful feature descriptors were analyzed, as well as the special semi-automatic fusion techniques of thermal image sequences.
