@inproceedings{ordonezmuller_2015, abstract = {In infrared thermography, the temperature measured by a thermal imaging device varies with the position and orientation of the camera with respect to an object's surface. 3D thermography has hence the potential to depict the surface temperature of objects with higher fidelity than conventional 2D thermography. So far the problem of assigning temperature values that correspond to the same surface but were obtained from different perspectives has been addressed by simply overwriting previous values with new values or by averaging the measured values according to a weighted averaging scheme. A new approach to map temperature values onto a 3D model is proposed that results in a more faithful representation of an object's real surface temperature in form of a 3D thermogram. Temperature values are assigned in real time to the 3D model taking into consideration the observation conditions under which they were measured. These conditions are also made available to the user in form of textured 3D models, where the texture color depicts the level of confidence associated to the thermal measurements. These textures provide useful additional information about the 3D thermogram. The new approach is especially helpful in the real-time generation of 3D thermograms as the user gets live feedback on the quality of the thermal model being generated.}, address = {Auckland, New Zealand}, author = {Ordonez Müller, Antonio and Kroll, A.}, booktitle = {9th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST 2015)}, comment = {======= Review 1 ======= > *** Guidance for Authors: Please describe in detail main paper contributions, positive aspects, observed deficiencies, and suggestions on how to improve them: This is a well presented paper that stakes a clear claim for improved creation of 3D thermograms. It will be interesting in future to see the results of a comparison between the imaging system and independent (e.g. contact) temperature measurements of the same objects. > *** Overall Rating: Do you recommend acceptance or rejection?

Safety of large industrial complexes that handle hazardous chemical materials is of utter importance to prevent harm to employees, general population, our natural environment and valuable infrastructure. Therefore, beside the plant owner's own financial interest to guarantee faultless and safe operation, legal regulations have to be adhered due to strong public interest as well. An important measure to ensure safety is the implementation of regular inspection tours by maintenance personnel, who examine the often widely-stretched process infrastructure on foot and locally search for signs of beginning leakage. The Research Project RoboGasInspector was started to develop new means of aiding with the fulfillment of this essential task. This article gives an insight into this ongoing research project, where autonomous mobile robotics is combined with laser-based remote gas detection technology in order to create a proof-of-concept inspection system prototype, which can relieve humans of this monotonous and highly repetitive work.}, address = {Bonn}, author = {Barz, Thomas and Bonow, Gero and Hegenberg, Jens and Habib, Karim and Cramar, Liubov and Welle, Jochen and Schulz, Dirk and Kroll, Andreas and Schmidt, Ludger}, booktitle = {Future Security}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-33161-9_32}, editor = {Aschenbruck, Nils and Martini, Peter and Meier, Michael and Tölle, Jens}, interhash = {2f9b6fca76112c9f9bdf30d15c5fd58d}, intrahash = {feef2e37bff7d7ad0edf6c46ecae7f73}, isbn = {978-3-642-33160-2}, language = {english}, month = {4th -- 6th September}, mrtnote = {robogas,peer}, owner = {bonow}, pages = {216-219}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, title = {Unmanned Inspection of Large Industrial Environments -- Insights into Research Project RoboGasInspector}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33161-9_32}, volume = 318, year = 2012 }
