Abstract

This paper presents the design of an automated cabin for thermal image capture. The device aims to improve precision during the capture, reducing human error and, processing of the image in an isolated space to reduce environmental noise. The thermographic pictures are used in the analysis of the residual human limb for transtibial amputee subjects. The methodology includes the computed assisted design of all mechanical elements, the electronic instrumentation for the automation, the interface and the control algorithm to regulate the thermal camera movements, numerical simulations to depict the functionality. The results using the virtual prototype show that with the proposed design and the proposed control, the mobile section of the cabin follows the desired smooth path with the required number of steps to capture the thermal images.
