%0 Journal Article %T The Device for Low-Cost Measurement of 2D Thermal Distribution %A Jiri Minar %A Kamil Riha %J International Journal of Advances in Telecommunications, Electrotechnics, Signals and Systems %D 2012 %I International Science and Engineering Society, o.s. %R 10.11601/ijates.v1i2-3.38 %X The article describes a specialized device for measurement of thermal distribution of two dimensional surfaces for some applications in medical industry, and mechanical or civil engineering. The device is a substitution of expensive device for this kind of measurement is thermal camera which can be expensive for some application or should have the limitation of non-possibility to read temperature behind a barrier (wall, bandage). The main goal of this work was to design a device for measurement of thermal distribution on 2D surface for low-cost measuring processes with slow change of temperature and for processes, which do not require high resolution of collected data. The next advantage of presented device is a possibility of temperature measurement behind the barrier. %U http://www.ijates.org/index.php/ijates/article/view/38
