In daily applications, thermal imaging has two major uses: temperature measurement and night vision.
Temperature measurement is divided into two major areas: human body temperature measurement and industrial temperature measurement. In the field of human body temperature measurement, this is also an area where thermal imaging is relatively well known to the public. During the epidemic, many places such as stations, airports, and shopping malls have installed a large number of thermal imaging human body temperature measurement equipment, which can quickly measure the temperature of multiple people without affecting the normal flow of people. In addition to human body temperature measurement, thermal imaging technology can also be applied to the field of industrial temperature measurement, such as power detection, building detection, hazardous chemicals detection, etc.
Second, night vision function. Thermal imaging uses temperature imaging and is not affected by visible light. Therefore, it can be used in autonomous driving, outdoor observation, etc. regardless of bad weather such as darkness, glare, and haze.
The outdoor thermal imaging telescope is a professional product based on thermal imaging technology that further subdivides application scenarios.
What is an outdoor thermal imaging telescope?
An outdoor thermal imaging telescope is also called a thermal imaging night vision device. It relies on thermal imaging of the target and displays the thermal image of the object through electronic equipment. It can be connected to various video output devices and is widely used in outdoor night scenes.
How does an outdoor thermal imaging telescope work?
All objects above absolute zero (-273°C) emit infrared radiation. Outdoor thermal imager telescopes use infrared detectors and optical imaging lenses to receive the infrared radiation energy of the target to be measured, and reflect its distribution pattern on the photosensitive element of the infrared detector to obtain an infrared thermal image. This thermal image corresponds to the heat distribution field on the surface of the object, that is, the thermal image is obtained by passive infrared technology. In layman's terms, an infrared thermal imager converts the invisible infrared energy emitted by an object into a visible thermal image. The different colors on the thermal image represent the different temperatures of the object to be measured. By viewing the thermal image, you can observe the target to be measured and make a judgment on the next step.
