Vein Visualization Technology has become increasingly ubiquitous as the benefits of such applications become more apparent. By using a cooling means that is configured to cool the target area of the subject body; hence, effecting a thermal change to the target area upon removal of cooling. Coupled with an infrared thermal sensor to capture a series of transient thermal images of the target area. This project would like to use a novel method of extracting dynamic synthetic thermal images, over the time of the thermal image acquisition, while ensuring a high contrast image for an efficient vein visualization. While working towards utilizing active dynamic thermography (ADT)-based real-time vein projection system, which involves mapping of the temperature over the target area, upon external stimulation, and a simultaneous projection of synthetic images.
