High-Resolution Image Acquisition Apparatus and Method

Thermal Imaging-Based High-Resolution Image Acquisition Technology

This technology relates to a super-resolution image acquisition technique that generates a high-resolution image by combining multiple low-resolution thermal images.

Conventional thermal cameras have had difficulty precisely identifying fine defects or degradation conditions due to resolution limitations. This technology restores a high-resolution thermal image from multiple frames through a processing architecture including motion estimation, image selection, and a high-resolution generation unit.

As a result, it can improve the accuracy of thermal-image-based defect detection and enhance usability in industrial equipment diagnosis, safety monitoring, and degradation assessment systems.

Key Features:

• It generates a high-resolution image by registering multiple low-resolution thermal images.
• It improves super-resolution reconstruction accuracy through motion estimation and image selection algorithms.
• It can be applied to equipment degradation diagnosis and condition monitoring based on thermal cameras.
