A transient three-dimensional heat transfer model of the human body
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The objective of this work is to develop an improved model of the human thermal system. The features included are important to solve real problems: 3D heat conduction, the use of elliptical cylinders to adequately approximate ...
Human Detection and Identification by Robots Using Thermal and Visual Information in Domestic Environments
(SPRINGER, 2012-04)
In this paper a robust system for enabling robots to detect and identify humans in domestic environments is proposed. Robust human detection is achieved through the use of thermal and visual information sources that are ...
Human Detection Using Thermopiles
(IEEE, 2008)
This paper presents a simple approach to detect people using an 8times1 thermopile array sensor. The performance of the sensor is evaluated in terms of detection rates and false positives obtained in the application of the ...
Development of an android APP to calculate thermal comfort indexes on animals and people
(2018-08-01)
Nowadays, most of the analysis on thermal comfort in the agricultural environment, with particular reference to animal production environments, use indexes that allow the evaluation of the thermal stress level of a given ...
Ergonomics in clothing: Importance of thermal comfort in a typical Brazilian refrigerator of beef industry
(2017-01-01)
Human exposure to uncomfortable temperatures has been of concern in the last decade, since in these conditions the frequency of occupational accidents and diseases increases in most cases. This study discusses and determines ...
