What is thermal imaging?

What is thermal imaging?

Thermal imaging is a technology that captures the infrared radiation (heat) emitted by objects and converts it into a visible image. Every object with a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit) emits infrared radiation. Thermal cameras detect this radiation and create a picture based on the temperature differences.

In simpler terms, it allows you to "see" the heat signatures of objects and living beings. Warmer objects appear brighter, while cooler objects appear darker. This technology is widely used in various applications, including night vision, security and surveillance, industrial inspections, and even medical diagnostics.
