This conference paper concerns the application of optical character recognition in the processing of thermal images.Thermal images that lack colour index metadata are subjected to a custom-made program, which performs the 2. V.K Govindan and A.P Shivaprasad, "Abstract:

Noise affects the values of pixels in a thermal image. As the values of pixels will determine the appearance of the bit planes of thermal images, noise will affect the bit planes as well. Noisy thermal images have bit planes which resembles static. These bit planes will not be useful for the purpose of extracting low-level details, e.g. detecting edges and blobs. The method described in this article is intended to be utilized as a preprocessing step to identify these bit planes before any further processing steps which make use of bit planes take place.Index Terms-Bit plane slicing, thermal image processing, bit planes, low-level feature extraction.
