Applications of Thermal Imaging in Aircraft
Thermal imaging, also known as infrared (IR) imaging or thermal video, is the use of an image sensor to measure the temperature of an object. The temperatures are then translated into visible light that can be seen by the human eye. Thermal imagers work by detecting the infrared radiation (heat) that is emitted by all objects. This radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by specialised sensors. The amount of radiation...
