Thermal Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Search and Rescue Operations: This model could be used in the development of search and rescue software for drones, enabling them to identify the heat signatures of lost persons in difficult terrains or low visibility conditions.

2. Healthcare Monitoring: In healthcare settings, the model might be used for monitoring patient movement in care homes or hospitals during the night, ensuring patients are safe without disturbing their sleep with lights.

3. Smart Building Management: The model can be employed to track indoor human movement to optimize heating, cooling, and lighting systems in an energy-efficient manner.

4. Presence Detection for Security Systems: It could be useful in creating security systems that use thermal imaging to detect human presence, even in the dark, providing elite-level night-time surveillance.

5. Social Distancing Compliance: Amid ongoing public health requirements, the model can be used to ensure social distancing norms are being followed in public places, by identifying the thermal signatures of people.
