Drone Thermal Imaging

Thermal cameras translate thermal energy (heat) into visible light, creating the ability to see in low or zero-light situations, peer through obscuring smoke or fog, and detect imperceptible variances in temperature. Thermal imaging can be applied in a wide range of commercial industries including Public Safety, Wildlife Management, Building and Asset Management, and Healthcare.

Originally developed for military use as a night vision instrument, thermal imaging cameras have quickly migrated to other industries in a wide range of uses. Like standard digital cameras, thermal cameras produce and display a digital copy of what the lens sees. The difference is that thermal cameras use infrared radiation (or heat) to generate the image – resulting in the ability to see beyond the range of visible light and view things that were previously invisible to the naked eye.

In recent years handheld and mountable devices become readily available in the industry, and the ability to integrate thermal cameras into drone platforms has emerged as a necessity in delivering efficient and cost effective inspections.
