ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,495,973, issued on Dec. 16, was assigned to Frenel Imaging Ltd. (Dorot, Israel).
"Generation of a temperature map" was invented by Sagi Zur-Arie (Dorot, Israel).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Generating an accurate and sensitive temperature map over a non-planar surface by capturing a polarimetric thermal image from a non-planar surface. The non-planar surface includes a surface element which emits thermal electromagnetic emission responsive to a temperature of the surface element. Thermal electromagnetic emission is directed to an image element of an image sensor. A polarisation state and intensity are measured of the ray of thermal elec...
