FEM can give simulation results at design stage. However, as FEM is a kind of simulations, it normally suffers from deviations with experimental results. Therefore, experimental measurement is necessary. To measure the 3D temperature distribution on a car body, we normally use a number of temperature sensors and then record the temperature values according to the positions of the sensors. It can provide the temperature values at different positions. Using this information, we can obtain the 3D temperature distribution on a car body. However, this method is time consuming and inconvenient, as we have to place a number of sensors on a car body, measure its corresponding positions as well as process the measured temperature values. In contrast, we firstly take a sequence of 2D thermal infrared images of the car body to have 2D temperature distribution and then reconstruct the 3D temperature distribution from the 2D images using computer vision method. It provides a more convenient method to acquire 3D temperature distribution compared to using a number of temperature sensors. The experimental results show the feasibility of our method.","PeriodicalId":136611,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Information Acquisition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115799841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain high accuracy, some special designs are applied to the system hardware, including micro-voltage amplifiers, ADC and input unit, DAC circuits and output unit. In addition, some functions are achieved by the software that is written using MCS-51 assembling language, e.g., internal self-adjustment for the input and output signals, nonlinear correction of 8 types of thermocouples, data processing and cold junction compensation.

These trajectories can be parameterized by a parameter known as range-to-baseline ratio. For moving targets, at each moment, the range-to-baseline ratio is computed and the appropriate trajectory is pursued based on this ratio and current estimates of the target bearing and course.
