Infrared thermography presents some important advantages in the determination of skin temperature, as it is a safe, noninvasive, and noncontact technique of relatively easy use and with wide applications in the field of sports sciences. Like many other techniques, valid measurement in thermography requires following strict methodological steps from data acquisition to analysis and interpretation. In this chapter, we discuss the methodological recommendations that must be followed when acquiring thermic images, along with some practical examples and recommendations based on the current literature to ensure proper image acquisition and data processing.

摘要

Infrared thermography presents some important advantages in the determination of skin temperature, as it is a safe, noninvasive, and noncontact technique of relatively easy use and with wide applications in the field of sports sciences. Like many other techniques, valid measurement in thermography requires following strict methodological steps from data acquisition to analysis and interpretation. In this chapter, we discuss the methodological recommendations that must be followed when acquiring thermic images, along with some practical examples and recommendations based on the current literature to ensure proper image acquisition and data processing.
