Application of phase-locked digital infrared imaging to individuals undergoing exercise
Temperature distributions on heat emitting (test) targets undergoing periodic movement can be studied through the application of digital infra-red (IR) imaging. It is however challenging to always capture the surfaces of interest (in the imaging sequence) due to motion. This multi-disciplined project designed and developed a phase-locked system to allow studies of persons undergoing exercise on a bike. Non-intrusive IR imaging was synchronised with the posture of the cyclist through the mechanical train. Additionally, sensor based (temperature) measurements were also undertaken for comparison to the IR.
