A system and method for detecting a thermal anomaly in humans and / or livestock. In one embodiment, the system includes an image capturing component that captures a visual image of incident light in a screening area, the image capturing component further operable to determine a first coordinate in the captured image, such as the location of a person's eyes. The system further includes a radiation capturing component operable to capture a thermal image of incident radiation in the screening area, the radiation capturing component further operable to determine an analysis area in the captured thermal image based upon the first coordinate in the captured light image. Finally, the system includes a processing component for determining thermal characteristics about the analysis area. As a result, if the thermal characteristics correspond to an alarm event, then an alarm may be triggered and the person or animal may be isolated for further health screening.

This invention identifies the most significant features in visual scenes, without prior training, by measuring the difficulty in finding similarities between neighbourhoods in the scene. Pixels in an area that is similar to much of the rest of the scene score low measures of visual attention. On the other hand a region that possesses many dissimilarities with other parts of the image will attract a high measure of visual attention. The invention makes use of a trial and error process to find dissimilarities between parts of the image and does not require prior knowledge of the nature of the anomalies that may be present. The method avoids the use of processing dependencies between pixels and is capable of a straightforward parallel implementation for each pixel. The invention is of wide application in searching for anomalous patterns in health screening, quality control processes and in analysis of visual ergonomics for assessing the visibility of signs and advertisements. The invention provides a measure of significant features to an image processor in order to provide variable rate image compression.

Novel thymidine kinase (TK1) derived peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2 is employed to obtain ligands having specificity to the peptide. The ligand may be an antibody or fragment thereof and may be used in various methods and kits for health screening and the like.

An apparatus for generating a digital health screening form collects sensor information including biometric information, motion information or location information of an examinee using a plurality of sensors. The apparatus determines results of preset health screening items depending on the biometric information, and then generates physical condition information including the results of the preset health screening items. The apparatus generates information about presence or absence of dyssomnia or information about physical activities, which indicates living habits of the examinee, and then generates lifelog information which includes the information about the presence or absence of dyssomnia or the information about the physical activities. The apparatus detects medical history information of the examinee in a medical history information provision server, and generates a digital health screening form containing the physical condition information, the lifelog information, and the medical history information.
