Thermal imaging is a technique that uses heat-sensitive cameras to create images of objects, people or even entire scenes based on their temperatures. These images show the different levels of thermal radiation that different objects emit, which can then be used by law enforcement officers, health care professionals and other groups when they are out in the field. People who work with thermal imaging systems need to have an understanding of how...

Thermal imaging is a type of infrared photography that can be used to detect differences in heat. The camera creates an image based on the temperature of objects in front of it. This allows you to see things that would be otherwise invisible to the naked eye, such as heat loss from a horse's body. Thermal imaging can be used for a variety of purposes, such as detecting injuries, finding sore spots, and checking for circulation problems. It can...

Thermal imaging cameras are special types of cameras that can detect infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a longer wavelength than visible light. Thermal imaging cameras use sensors to detect this infrared radiation and create an image based on the intensity of the radiation. The most common type of thermal imaging sensor is the bolometer. Bolometers are sensitive to changes in temperature, so...
