Solution Overview
Problem
Infrared thermal image photography is inefficient due to the inability to easily identify objects in infrared images, leading to missed objects and low detection efficiency, especially in environments with similar equipment types, requiring manual and error-prone methods for recording object information.
Innovation Solution
An infrared photographing device that acquires thermal imaging data and displays object indicating information alongside the thermal image, allowing users to select and photograph objects based on designated special object information, improving identification and reducing manual recording errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual recording methods are used for object information, then users can record file names and object details, but operation convenience deteriorates and error rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention. The thermal image photographing device automatically extracts object information from the thermal image, generates file names, and records metadata without requiring manual input from the user, thereby eliminating errors while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of writing down object information on paper or manually entering it into a system is replaced by an automated digital system that uses optical recognition, data processing, and automatic file management to capture and store object information accurately
2Measurement precision
If thermal imaging detection technology is applied, then object temperature and thermal characteristics can be detected, but object identification capability deteriorates due to lack of visual cues
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges thermal imaging detection with visual image recognition and GPS location data. By combining these different types of information, the system maintains accurate thermal measurement while adding object identification capabilities through visual cues and spatial context
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that includes a processor and database that connects the thermal detection capability with object identification. This intermediary analyzes thermal patterns, compares them with known object signatures, and provides identification information to the user
3Adaptability or versatility
If photographing personnel select objects based on subjective experience, then flexibility in object selection is maintained, but detection efficiency deteriorates and omissions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the scene by automatically detecting and identifying objects in the thermal image before the user needs to select them. This preliminary action provides a prepared list of candidate objects with identification information, allowing users to efficiently select targets without manual searching while maintaining flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the user by displaying identified object information, GPS coordinates, and detection results on the device screen. This feedback loop allows users to verify automatic identifications, make informed selection decisions, and correct any errors, thereby maintaining adaptability while improving efficiency

AI summary
An infrared photographing device and an infrared photographing method in the invention relate to an infrared photographing device and an application field of infrared imaging detection. According to an infrared photographing device in the prior art, the objects to be photographed are selected according to subjective experience of users, with lower efficiency and omissions. According to the infrared photographing device and infrared photographing method in the invention, based on the prestored object information, the object information and the sequence related to the object to be photographed is determined. Then, the special object information is designated, and the object instructing information acquired according to the special object information is displayed specially, using as the information instruction of the object to be photographed at present. When the switch instruction is sent, the designated special object information is switched according to the sequence. Thereby, the photographing speed is improved, and there are no omissions.
