Thermal Imaging
1.Basic Definition
Thermal imaging is a technology that uses infrared radiation (heat) to generate images. It detects the temperature distribution on an object’s surface and converts it into a visible thermal image (thermogram).
2. Basic Principle
- Objects in nature, as long as their temperature is above absolute zero (-273°C), radiate electromagnetic waves.
- Thermal imaging detectors primarily capture electromagnetic waves in the thermal infrared band (8μm-14μm) to create images.
- Thermal imaging detectors identify and distinguish targets based on differences in radiation emitted by different objects.
Detector resolution indicates the number of detector elements in the detector’s focal plane.
Mainstream resolutions include 160×120, 256×192, 384×288, 640×512, and 1280×1024. Higher resolutions produce clearer images.
Thermal imaging technology plays a multi-dimensional key role in the industrial field. Its core value lies in achieving equipment status monitoring, fault warning and process optimization through non-contact temperature measurement.
