Thermal Imaging for Contactless Cardiorespiratory and Sudomotor Response Monitoring

ArXi:2602.12361v2 Announce Type: replace Human-machine interfaces in industrial automation need sensing modules that monitor operator actions and physiological state. This is important in factories, vehicles, machinery cabins, and human-robot collaboration, where workload, stress, fatigue, or reduced attention can affect safety. RGB monitoring is limited by low light, shadows, and privacy concerns, while thermal infrared imaging captures skin temperature dynamics without visible illumination.
