Abstract
The present disclosure provides a thermal imaging system that uses the 3D ultrasound imaging system to transmit outgoing ultrasonic waves and receive incoming ultrasonic waves and then to determine distance data of one or more objects of a target scene based on the incoming waves. The thermal imaging system then detects initial temperature values of the one or more objects using an infrared temperature system. Based on the distance data and the initial temperature values, the thermal imaging system determines adjusted temperature values for the one or more objects.
