Abstract

There has been a wide use of thermal images of the human body in recent years, specifically images with thermal information of regions of interest (ROI) in the face; this information can be used for epidemiological, clinical, and/or psychological purposes. Due to this, it is important to have plenty of information on temperature in these ROIs in the basal state that allows their use as a reference in terms of their thermal analysis. In this work, a face thermal map of the Mexican population in the basal state ( n = 196) is created, adding the comparison between different population groups, such as gender, age, and clinical status, obtaining results of great interest for future research. The t -test for independent samples was applied to the ROIs with normal distribution and Mann–Whitney u-test to the ones that did not present normal distribution. Statistically significant differences were found in some of the ROI comparisons like the corrugator, the supraorbitals, and the chin between the control and clinical groups, as well as in the differentiation by age ( p < 0.05).
