about
ThPP is a processing and analysis tool for infrared images. These infrared images are obtained with the use of thermography cameras.
Supported cameras:
| device | type | supported | description |
| IRTIS | 200 | yes | still 256x248 |
For now, only IRTIS images are supported, but this will be subject to change. If a manufacturer of thermal cameras is interested in making this software work with it's own devices please contact me.
download
ThPP is available as a Windows i586 binary and as Borland C++ Builder source code.
You can also download a package containing 10 example IR images.
The project's documentation is in a separate file and it contains short descriptions of the available functions and sample images. All of the above can be found on the sourceforge download page.
requirements
| OS | works | observations |
| Windows 95 | yes | no problems |
| Windows 98 | yes | no problems |
| Windows NT4 | no | works only as viewer |
| Windows ME | yes | no problems |
| Windows 2000 | yes | no problems |
| wine emulator | yes | the last time I've checked ... |
I don't have any Windows NT4 available, so making it work under this environment would be quite impossible.
algorithms
If you wand more information about one of these algorithms just click on it. You will find a small explanation and some sample images.
| tool | info | used for | processing speed |
| colormap | 11 implemented colormaps to choose from | visual inspection | very fast |
| linear/area determination | gets min,max,average temperature from a line or area | heat loss determination | very fast |
| histogram | histogram viewer | temperature frequency | very fast |
| histeq | histogram equalization | image enhancement, contrast increase | fast |
| look-up table | rescales the temperatures from an image | image enhancement | very fast |
| optimized look-up table | automatically rescales the temperatures | image enhancement | very fast |
| convolution with 5x5 masks | custom, Laplace, Sobel, Gauss, median, bumpmap | edge detect, noise reduction, bluring | fast |
| Nagao filter | (not working properly) | noise reduction | quite slow |
| MHR | maximum homogeneous region filter | noise elimination, segmentation, edge and near-edge detection | quite slow |
| segmentation using CSOM | Kohonen Self-Organizing Map neural network | segmentation, zone extraction, labeling | slow |
| level slice | re-indexes the image with fewer levels | segmentation | very fast |
