Thermal Imaging Dataset of Decomposition in a Humid Temperate Environment

This dataset contains thermal imaging and environmental data collected during the decomposition of six pig carcasses (Sus scrofa domesticus) in a humid temperate environment in the United Kingdom. Thermal images were captured across multiple postmortem intervals using a FLIR One Gen 3 infrared camera. Temperature variables (maximum, minimum, and mean) were extracted from thermograms and analysed alongside environmental measurements including ambient temperature and humidity. The dataset includes both raw and processed thermograms, a structured metadata file, and documentation describing data collection and processing methods. This dataset supports research into forensic taphonomy, postmortem interval estimation, and the use of thermal imaging as a non-invasive proxy for internal decomposition processes.本数据集收录了英国湿润温带环境下，6头家猪（Sus scrofa domesticus）尸体腐烂过程中采集的热成像数据与环境监测数据。研究人员采用FLIR One Gen 3红外相机（FLIR One Gen 3）在多个死后间隔时段采集热成像图，并从热成像图中提取最高、最低及平均温度三类温度变量，同时结合环境温度、湿度等环境监测数据开展联合分析。本数据集包含原始与经处理的热成像图、结构化元数据（metadata）文件，以及详细说明数据采集与处理方法的文档资料。该数据集可支撑法医埋藏学（forensic taphonomy）、死后间隔估计（postmortem interval estimation），以及将热成像作为内部腐烂过程非侵入性替代指标的相关研究。
