САЖЕТАК:

Learning temperature measurement procedures is extremely important for students of the technical professions. The previous practice was mostly based on the study of contact methods of measurement, however, due to the progress of technology, there is a need for a more detailed introduction to non-contact temperature measurement procedures, such as thermovision. When studying thermovision, in addition to the thermovision camera, the software supplied with it is also used to analyze the obtained thermograms. However, in most cases this software is not suitable for use in a teaching process. Due to this, the paper presents a solution based on the use of a different type of software compared to the traditionally used software during the introduction to thermovision procedures. The entire code for the software was developed in the Python programming language using elements of computer vision, image analysis and other capabilities that Python offers through its various modules. The entire environment intended for learning was implemented using virtualization techniques. An adequate virtual machine was implemented using free software and open source software.
