Abstract

An apparatus for hot spot sensing where the apparatus includes an input unit, a processing unit, and an output unit. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with an image of an object that includes a hot spot. The image data of the image includes image data of the hot spot where the image was acquired by a camera. The processing unit is configured to determine a number of pixels in the image corresponding to a size of the hot spot, an average temperature for the hot spot, the determination comprising utilization of pixel values of the pixels in the image corresponding to the size of the hot spot and the number of pixels in the image corresponding to the size of the hot spot, a surrounding temperature in the image, and a corrected temperature for the hot spot.
