VISION THERMAL CAMERAS
SEEING THE UNSEEN
All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation, even at low levels.
This kind of radiation, invisible to the human eye, can be detected by thermal imaging sensors.
Thermal cameras can produce images in the visual spectrum by detecting temperature differences
between an object and its surroundings. The larger the difference, the bigger the contrast variety,
making details visible. Compared to visible-light cameras, thermal cameras can be used for
applications in more challenging environments.
