Thermal Image Sensors, also known as thermal cameras or infrared cameras, are monitoring devices used to detect and measure temperature variations in objects or surfaces. They work by detecting infrared radiation emitted by objects and creating a thermal image of their temperature distribution.
Thermal Image Sensors are used in a wide range of applications, such as monitoring electrical equipment for signs of overheating, detecting hotspots in building insulation, identifying energy leaks in industrial processes, and measuring body temperature in medical settings. They are also used in the military and law enforcement for surveillance and target detection purposes.
Thermal Image Sensors are available in different types and configurations, including handheld devices, fixed-mount cameras, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with thermal imaging capabilities. They can be used in combination with other monitoring devices, such as gas analyzers and air quality meters, to provide a comprehensive view of environmental conditions and detect potential hazards.
