Mathematical modeling of the frozen zone dynamics: towards using thermal imagers in cryotherapy

The paper models thermal field dynamics to relate surface thermal images to in-depth freezing and thawing processes in hydrogel and tissue.

Reliability and precision of thermal imaging measurements to study animal behaviour and welfare

This study evaluates the reliability and precision of thermal imaging for measuring facial temperatures in goats, finding high repeatability and precision for mean and maximum temperatures but lower consistency over longer periods.

A Novel Approach for Using Thermal Imaging to Study Behavioural Responses to Environmental Stressors in Passerines

This paper introduces a method to automatically detect feeding bouts in thermal videos by identifying temperature changes, enabling faster stress monitoring in passerines.

A computational study on the role of parameters for identification of thyroid nodules by infrared images (and its comparison with real data)

This study investigates how nodule and patient characteristics affect thyroid nodule malignancy identification via infrared thermography using simulations and real data.

Data-driven analysis of facial thermal responses to an emotional movie reveals consistent stimulus-locked physiological changes
