Thermal Imaging is a powerful remote Sensing tool for a variety of reasons, particularly when applied to field investigations of animal ecology.

 

 Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging technology is a means of increasing an item's visibility in a completely dark environment by detecting and analysing infrared radiation generated by the object (image). The top portion of the infrared light spectrum is captured by this technique. It operates best in a dark setting with no ambient light, can see through fog, smoke, and haze, and can detect moving things in real time. Thermal imaging equipment are classified into two types: uncooled devices and cryogenically cooled devices.

Military and defence equipment employ thermal imaging technology extensively, accounting for more than 40% of the overall worldwide thermal imaging Business. One of the primary causes driving the expansion of Thermal Imaging is an increase in expenditure by governments in various nations such as China, India, the United Kingdom, and Russia in the upgrade and modernization of weapons and equipment in the armed forces. Thermal imaging systems enable military forces to see in low-light conditions by providing a reliable and recognisable image of the surroundings using radiation released by objects.

Thermal Imaging is a technique for enhancing visibility of items in a dark environment by detecting infrared radiation from the objects and producing a picture based on that information. The three most prevalent night vision methods are thermal imaging, near-infrared lighting, and low-light imaging. Thermal imaging, unlike the other two approaches, may be used in areas with no ambient light. Thermal imaging, like near-infrared light, can overcome obscurants such as smoke, fog, and haze.
