Infrared thermal imaging is a technology that generates thermal images by detecting infrared radiation emitted by objects. It is widely used in industries, construction, security and other fields we are familiar with. However, in the maritime field, infrared thermal imaging also plays an important role. The application of infrared thermal imaging in the maritime field is reflected in ship navigation safety, maritime rescue, environmental monitoring, etc.
1.Infrared thermal imaging helps navigation safety
At night or in bad weather, the driver's vision is easily limited. Infrared thermal imaging can overcome darkness and bad weather, helping the driver to find obstacles such as other ships and icebergs, greatly improving the navigation safety of the ship. In addition, infrared thermal imaging can also be used for hot spot detection, helping to find potential mechanical and electrical failures and pipeline leaks.
2.Infrared thermal imaging helps with maritime rescue
It is very difficult to find people who have fallen into the water or are missing on the vast sea. Integrating infrared movements into drones and other equipment to conduct large-scale detection of the sea surface and detecting the human body through heat can greatly improve the efficiency of search and rescue.
3.Infrared thermal imaging helps environmental monitoring
Infrared thermal imaging can also be used for marine ecological environment detection, such as measuring the temperature of the ocean to study the impact of global climate change on marine life. At the same time, it can also be used for oil spill detection to help timely and effectively prevent, control, remove and monitor oil spill pollution.
4.Thermal imaging helps port safety
Infrared thermal imaging can monitor the port around the clock, clearly showing the flow of people, vehicles and ships, etc., to ensure people's safety and prevent illegal activities.
