ABSTRACT:
Thermal infrared image data of at least a region of a face of a person in an enclosure is provided. The enclosure, for example, may include a first enclosed volume and a second enclosed volume physically separated from the first enclosed volume. The first enclosed volume may include an entrance door sized to allow a person to enter the first enclosed volume. The enclosure provides a controlled environment for performing measurements (e.g., capturing thermal infrared image data) for use in determining a physiological state of a person (e.g., anxiety, deception, etc.).
