Given the process of detecting emitted thermal radiation of human body temperature by infrared imaging, we, in this study, present the current utility of thermal camera models namely FLIR and SEEK in biomedical applications as an extension of our previous article.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The most significant result is the differences between image qualities of the thermograms captured by thermal camera models. In other words, the image quality of the thermal images in FLIR One is higher than SEEK Compact PRO. However, the thermal images of FLIR One are noisier than SEEK Compact PRO since the thermal resolution of FLIR One is 160\u2009\u00d7\u2009120 while it is 320\u2009\u00d7\u2009240 in SEEK Compact PRO.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Detecting and revealing the inhomogeneous temperature distribution on the injured toe of the subject, we, in this paper, analyzed the imaging results of two different smartphone-based thermal camera models by making comparison among various thermograms. Utilizing the feasibility of the proposed method for faster and comparative diagnosis in biomedical problems is the main contribution of this study.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-020-3355-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]],"date-time":"2020-03-13T02:02:49Z","timestamp":1584064969000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["FLIR vs SEEK thermal cameras in biomedicine: comparative diagnosis through infrared thermography"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ayca","family":"Kirimtat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ondrej","family":"Krejcar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Selamat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Herrera-Viedma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"3355_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1016\/j.infrared.2012.03.007","volume":"55","author":"BB Lahiri","year":"2012","unstructured":"Lahiri BB, Bagavathiappan S, Jayakumar T, Philip J.
