Thermal cameras capture images based on heat radiating from organic and inorganic objects and detect infrared thermal radiation that all objects with a nonzero temperature emit. Thermal imaging technology picks up small temperature differences and converts them into visual images, it does not depend upon what is visible to the human eye. They detect small temperature differences, distinguish persons, vehicles, and other objects in challenging light conditions, and can see through smoke and light fog in complete darkness, which a visual camera cannot detect. Thermal cameras do not create images to be identified, so they can be used without compromising personal integrity.
Difference between Infrared and thermal cameras
Infrared cameras visualize thermal radiation in the near-infrared spectrum, detect temperature variation, and produce detailed images. They are superb in detailed surface temperature analysis.
Thermal cameras operate in the long-wave infrared spectrum, focus on heat emissions, and render heat signatures visible. They are excellent in low light and are most suited for surveillance, industrial inspection, and medical diagnostics.
