Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING THERMAL COMFORT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/172026
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for detecting thermal comfort, comprising an infrared sensor (40), which is designed to generate a thermographic image by detecting the temperature in a plurality of points in order to detect the surface temperature of at least one person (90), comprising an image evaluation unit (20), to which the data of the infrared sensor (40) can be supplied and which is designed to correlate the measured surface temperatures with a segmented physiological model of the person (90), wherein the image evaluation unit (20) is designed to determine a position in space and/or a gesture and/or anthropometric and/or morphological data of the at least one person (90), and comprising a correlation unit (30), to which the data of the image evaluation unit (20) can be supplied and which is designed to generate, on the basis of the position in space and/or the gesture and/or the anthropometric and/or morphological data of the at least one person (90), at least one measured variable (M) representing the thermal comfort. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
