Temporal behavior of thermal images

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The temporal behavior of the contrast in a thermal image is related to the temporal change of the radiance statistics over such an image. It is shown that, due to the statistical distribution of the thermal properties over an object, the statistics of the radiance vary with time during temporal changes in the heat balance. In specific cases the contrast of a thermal image can obtain a transient maxima larger than the steady-state values.
