Thermal image sensor and air conditioner
A thermal image sensor and an air conditioner in which temperature data of significant pixels selected from all the pixels in an immediately preceding step are acquired by a thinning scanner, a human probability for each of the significant pixels is generated by a human probability generator, weight values for all the pixels are generated from the human probabilities for the significant pixels by a pixel weight calculator, and pixels having a larger weight value are selected, as the significant pixels to be used in the next step, by an all-pixel sorter, thereby assigning a larger number of pixels to a region in which there is a high probability that a person is existing while the number of significant pixels used in total is kept constant.
