Patent ID: 8599262

Claim:
An IR camera for capturing thermal images of an imaged view, said IR camera comprising: an IR camera display configured to display said captured thermal images to a user of said IR camera; display control circuitry configured to control the IR camera display to further display a current temperature range, B low to B high , of the IR camera, said display control circuitry being configured to: determine an indication scale comprising the current temperature range, B low to B high , of the IR camera, wherein the indication scale is partitioned into areas within and outside an actual image content, C low , to C high , of the captured thermal image, and wherein equally sized temperature intervals have larger geometric sizes in the indication scale for the area within the actual image content than for the area outside the actual image content, C low to C high , of the captured thermal image; and control the IR camera display to display said indication scale to the user of said IR camera.
