Abstract:
The ability to measure ocular surface temperature (OST) with thermal imaging offers potential insight into ocular physiology that has been acknowledged in the literature. The TH7102MX thermo-camera (NEC San-ei, Japan) continuously records dynamic information about OST without sacrificing spatial resolution. Using purpose-designed image analysis software, it was possible to select and quantify the principal components of absolute temperature values and the magnitude plus rate of temperature change that followed blinking. The techniques was examined for repeatability, reproducibility and the eff

Abstract Despite the large amount of research work in condition based maintenance and condition monitoring methods, there is still a need for more reliable and accurate methods. The clear evidence of that need is the continued dependence on time based maintenance, especially for critical applications such as turbomachinery and airplane engines. The lack of accurate condition monitoring systems could lead to not only the unexpected failures as well as the resulting hazards and repair costs, but also a huge waste of material and time because of unnecessary replacement due to false alarms and unn

Thermography is one technology, which can be used to detect thermally significant defects in buildings and is traditionally performed using a walk-through methodology. Yet because of limitations such as transient climatic changes, there is a key performance gap between image capture and interpretation. There are however new methodologies currently available, which actively address some of these limitations. By better understanding alternative methodologies, the performance gap can be reduced.
