The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent cooking, and discloses an intelligent cooking control system and method with a thermal image. The intelligent cooking control system with the thermal image comprises a thermal image collection module, a temperature detection module, a cooking parameter setting module, a main control module, an image processing module, a timing module, a heating module, a stirring module and a display module. Through the cooking parameter setting module, the problem of cumbersome operation caused by the fact that a user manually conducts adjusting stepby step through a button to obtain cooking parameters can be avoided, and the setting efficiency and intelligence of the cooking parameters are improved; and meanwhile, the threshold of a food boundary is calculated through the image processing module, outline extraction of food is achieved through threshold segmentation and a segmentation threshold window extraction method for color components,green components and blue components, and the precise outline of the food is obtained.
