This outline documents preliminary findings and notes regarding the various applications including, Thermal Image Projection Mapping, Kinect Technology, and Presenting Icon. Further establishing our sensory focus between the relationship visual and audio as well as their prospective synergies we're capable of achieving. We've prepared examples that will further clarify which of these methods elected are probable (in regards to execution) as well as which are feasible (in regards to budget), within the respective constraints of the "Long Beach Project."

A. THERMAL IMAGE PROJECTION MAPPING

Thermal Image Projection Mapping (Infrared Thermography),require  infrared sensors to be attached to projectors and as the sensors detect heat, a visual representation of that heat is projected back onto that specific objec and/or /person in real-time. Infrared thermography has been widely used in various domains to measure the temperature distributions of objects and surfaces. The methodology can be further extended to 3D applications if the spatial information of the temperature distribution is available.

 
 
 

A1. Infrared Thermography, Concept & Process

Infrared thermal images are acquired by thermographic cameras which detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images that visualized the intensity of the radiation. Since all objects above the absolute zero emit infrared radiations, thermography is quite useful in acquiring informative images of the environment with or without visible illumination. The thermographic device used in this work is equipped with a color camera which can be used to capture the shapes and colors of objects within the scene. In the proposed method, we intend to perform 3D reconstruction of the object using the acquired color images. 

The accuracy of the reconstructed 3D models can be improved by providing more details of the extracted contours, improving the accuracy of the estimated view angle, and most importantly acquiring more images of the object from different view angles, covering as much of the object as possible. The shape from contours method does not require sophisticated setup and equipment and can be readily applied to our purposes. In our application, the thermal imager takes regular 2D colour images and the thermal images of the object simultaneously, making image acquisition a one-step procedure. The rest of the processing can then be performed offline
