Thermography Enhances Imaging for Tracking Vitals and Disease Indicators
Using advanced processing techniques on raw thermal images, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology accurately tracked vital signs in a subject, including the subject’s heart rate, respiration rate, and body temperature. To enhance the clarity and quality of the thermal images, the team used phasor thermography, a technique it developed for hyperspectral, high-resolution, multiparametric thermal imaging and vision.

Study Offers Tools to Optimize Low-Light Cameras for Bioimaging
Illumination is often reduced when imaging biological samples. Low-light imaging helps researchers avoid adverse effects, like photobleaching and phototoxicity, that could damage the sample. However, use of low light can affect image quality. The challenge when minimizing illumination is to maintain image quality that is high enough to reflect the underlying biology of the sample and be used for quantitative measurements.
