Temperature monitoring system and method
View Patent ↗A microcontroller receives color codes of pixel points in an image captured by an infrared camera. If there is a color code falling within a color code range corresponding to a warning temperature range, the microcontroller determines a location of the pixel point of the image corresponding to the color code. A block of a monitored area of the image corresponding to the location is determined. An alarm is activated and an LED (light-emitting diode) is controlled to point at the determined block to let monitoring people know which person object has an inappropriately high temperature.
1. A microcontroller, comprising:
a storage system;
at least one processor; and
one or more programs being stored in the storage system and executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
a receiving module operable to receive a color code of each pixel point of an image sent from an infrared camera;
a searching module operable to determine a location of a pixel point of the image corresponding to a color code, if the color code falls within a color code range corresponding to a warning temperature range, and determine a block of a monitored area of the image corresponding to the determined location; and
a controlling module operable to activate an alarm, and control an LED (light-emitting diode) to point at the determined block.
2. The microcontroller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the infrared camera captures the image, and generate a color code for each pixel point in the image.
3. The microcontroller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiving module further stores a serial number of each color code.
4. The microcontroller as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the location of the pixel point corresponding to the color code is determined according to the serial number of the color code.
5. The microcontroller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the warning temperature range is a range of temperatures of a human person or an object.
6. A temperature monitoring method, comprising:
receiving a color code of each pixel point in an image sent from an infrared camera;
determining a location of a pixel point of the image corresponding to a color code if the color code falls within a color code rang corresponding to a warning temperature range, and determining a block of a monitored area of the image corresponding to the determined location; and
activating an alarm, and controlling an LED (light-emitting diode) to point at the determined block.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:
capturing the image and generating a color code for each pixel point in the image.
8. The method as claimed in claim 6 , after block receiving a color code of each pixel point of an image sent from an infrared camera further comprising:
storing a serial number of each color code.
9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the location of the pixel point corresponding to the color code is determined according to the serial number of the color code.
10. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the warning temperature range is a range of temperatures of a human person or an object.
11. A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to perform a temperature monitoring method, the method comprising:
receiving a color code of each pixel point in an image sent from an infrared camera;
determining a location of a pixel point of the image corresponding to a color code if the color code falls within a color code rang corresponding to a warning temperature range, and determining a block of a monitored area of the image corresponding to the determined location; and
activating an alarm, and controlling an LED (light-emitting diode) to point at the determined block.
12. The medium as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:
capturing the image and generating a color code for each pixel point in the image.
13. The medium as claimed in claim 11 , after block receiving a color code of each pixel point of an image sent from an infrared camera further comprising:
storing a serial number of each color code.
14. The medium as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the location of the pixel point corresponding to the color code is determined according to the serial number of the color code.
15. The medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the warning temperature range is a range of temperatures of a human person or an object.
