Abstract :
In the paper a problem of precise compensation of the original object motion in front of the infrared camera is discussed. The block matching techniques from stereovision and video coding have been adopted to this peculiar task after top-hat preprocessing of the sequence. The pixels are described with the original temperature values instead of colour parameters. The motion detection and compensation processes have been followed carefully with help of adequate images and graphs. It has been proved that proper video processing may compensate for lack of strong restrictions during thermogram sequence acquisition.
