Abstract

The present disclosure presents an improved system and method for displaying thermographic characteristics in a broadcast. The method comprises utilizing a camera to record a broadcast, determining thermographic characteristics relative to the broadcast, and rendering graphics in a broadcast displaying said thermographic characteristics. In exemplary embodiments, thermographic characteristics are determined by sensors or lenses for one or more objects in a venue and thermographic characteristics are displayed in the broadcast.

Claims (28)

1 . A method for displaying thermographic characteristics in a broadcast, comprising:

utilizing a camera to record a broadcast;

determining thermographic characteristics relative to the broadcast; and

rendering graphics in a broadcast displaying said thermographic characteristics.

2 . A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein thermographic characteristics are sampled via at least one sampling point in a venue.

3 . A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein thermographic characteristics are sampled at multiple sampling points and wherein thermographic characteristics are displayed in said broadcast.

4 . A method in accordance with claim 3 , wherein said thermographic characteristics are simulated relative to the broadcast.

5 . A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein thermographic characteristics are determined from analyzation of said broadcast.

6 . A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein thermographic characteristics are determined from thermographic or infrared camera equipment.

7 . A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein thermographic characteristics are analyzed relative to environmental conditions.

8 . A method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein thermographic are analyzed relative to ground or atmospheric effects.

9 . A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein thermographic characteristics of objects in the broadcast are displayed.

10 . A method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein said characteristics include one or more of thermographic characteristics of a ball, a vehicle and a player, with overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographic characteristics.

11 . A method in accordance with claim 9 , further comprising measuring thermographics, followed by overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographics.

12 . A system for displaying thermographic characteristics and effects in a broadcast, comprising:

a camera configured to record a broadcast;

a graphics rendering component configured to display thermographic characteristics relative to the broadcast; and

an output component configured to output said rendered graphics in a broadcast displaying said thermographic characteristics.

13 . A system in accordance with claim 11 , wherein thermographic characteristics are sampled via at least one sampling component in a venue.

14 . A system in accordance with claim 13 , wherein thermographic characteristics are sampled at multiple sampling points via plural sampling components and wherein thermographic characteristics are displayed in said broadcast.

15 . A system in accordance with claim 14 , wherein said thermographic characteristics are simulated relative to the broadcast.

16 . A system in accordance with claim 12 , wherein thermographic characteristics are determined from a computer analyzation component configured to analyze said broadcast.

17 . A system in accordance with claim 12 , wherein thermographic characteristics are determined from thermographic or infrared camera equipment.

18 . A system in accordance with claim 16 , wherein thermographic characteristics are analyzed relative to environmental conditions.

19 . A system in accordance with claim 18 , wherein thermographic characteristics are analyzed relative to ground or atmospheric effects.

20 . A system in accordance with claim 18 , wherein thermographic characteristics of objects in the broadcast are displayed.

21 . A system in accordance with claim 19 , wherein said thermographic characteristics include one or more of characteristics of a ball, a vehicle and a player, with overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographic characteristics.

22 . A system in accordance with claim 12 , further comprising a thermographics measuring component, followed by overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographic characteristics.
