Please note images not inclueded Suspect Marijuana grow facility detection with color IR imaging Thermal Imaging is the conversion of radiated or reflected heat into real-time pictures or images. A thermal image is an analogue visual representation of temperature differences. All objects above absolute zero (-273 degrees) emit radiation waves that are infrared. Depending on temperature and emissivity, most objects in the world can be thermally imaged.Thermal Imaging can be applied in many varying circumstances to simplify the detection, location and assessment of temperature related problems. Thermal imaging is used for a variety of heat detection tasks including checking for leaks (for all substances have slightly different temperatures) to surveillance/night vision (detecting body heat for when visual detection isn’ t possible). Thermography is a science capable of providing very detailed images of situations invisible to the naked eye. Thermal infrared imagers are transverse wave detectors and lens combinations that give a visual representation of infrared energy.The most common tool used for thermal imaging today is the thermal infrared camera. Thermal infrared cameras can be used to detect and display the presence of anything radiating heat above absolute zero. They supply visual representation of the infrared energy emitted by all objects. These cameras come in two types, those that take stills (like photos) and those that record motion imagery (like video). All imagers can only see through a limited density of material. For example if you took an image of a pipe at the right detection setting you would see the pipe and any leaks but you wouldn’t see what was happening inside the pipe. Thermal imagers can passively see all objects regardless of ambient light. Video images, colour or black-and-white hard copy, or electronic data format can be captured for further manipulation.
