Abstract
Burn wounds are imaged with an infrared charge-coupled device camera. The camera is composed of an 320-244 array of platinum silicide Schottky-barrier infrared detectors, operating at liquid nitrogen temperature. The system operates in the medium wavelength infrared range of 3-5 mu m. With careful calibration and adjustments, a black-and-white image composed of 256 gray levels can be resolved down to 0.1 degrees C per gray level increment. The 256 gray levels are converted to a color spectrum composed of 16 colors, with 1.6 degrees C temperature difference between colors.
