Thermal imaging cameras are just one example of infrared cameras. Infrared cameras measure the temperature of objects using thermal radiation (heat). This form of electromagnetic radiation is invisible to the human eye, but can be registered by electronic devices like thermal imaging cameras. That way, these thermal imaging cameras detect heat emissions which enable them to recognize human bodies or other objects in poorly lit or completely...

Thermal imaging is a non-invasive inspection process that detects temperature variances in building components. In home inspections, one of the biggest areas of thermal concern is insulation. Thermal images can reveal missing insulation and "cold spots" where heat isn't being maintained—problems which can lead to energy loss and increased energy costs. In a typical thermal image of a house with proper attic insulation levels, you'll see a...

Thermal imaging technology is widely used in all areas of human activity. Scientific research, industry, construction, navigation, security and law enforcement agencies, medical examinations, supervision of electrical equipment - this is a completely incomplete list of the use of thermal imagers. In fact, it is much more extensive. Thermal imagers are based on the principle of radiation of heatwaves by objects with a temperature above absolute...
