Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for infrared thermal image contour extraction. The method includes: obtaining an infrared thermal image; and determining histograms based on grayscale image of the infrared thermal image, determining segmentation thresholds of the infrared image based on the histograms, and extracting a contour based on the segmentation thresholds. The apparatus includes an image acquisition circuit, configured to capture an infrared thermal image; and a processing circuit, configured to determine histograms based on greyscale images of the infrared thermal image, to determine segmentation thresholds of the infrared thermal image based on the histograms, and to extract a contour based on segmentation thresholds.
