Thermal Booth

“Thermal imaging is the process of converting infrared (IR) radiation (heat) into visible images that depict the spatial distribution of temperature differences in a scene viewed by a thermal camera”.

There is a Thermal Imaging Protocol carried with transtibial lower limb amputees at the Biomechatronics Laboratory, whose results are sent to the MIT Media Lab in order to gather numeric data for the development of computationally improved transtibial prosthetic sockets. In pursuit of automating such procedure, the master's thesis is born.

My master's thesis: "Improved Thermal Data Acquisition and Analysis Via a Novel Mechatronic Booth and an Upgraded Methodology for Lower-Limb Residuum Applications", not only achieved the desired automation of Thermal Imaging, but also implemented upgraded methodologies for both Data Acquisition and Data Analysis procedures of such Thermal Data.
