2. Multispectral imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multispectral_imaging

   This FPA allowed researchers to look at two infrared (IR) planes at the same time. [9] Because mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) technologies measure radiation inherent to the object and require no external light source, they also are referred to as thermal imaging methods.

3. Thermography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

   Hence, an excellent way to measure thermal variations is to use an infrared vision device, usually a focal plane array (FPA) infrared camera capable of detecting radiation in the mid (3 to 5 μm) and long (7 to 14 μm) wave infrared bands, denoted as MWIR and LWIR, corresponding to two of the high transmittance infrared windows. Abnormal ...

4. Forward-looking infrared - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-looking_infrared

   Long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras, sometimes called "far-infrared", operate at 8 to 12 μm and can see heat sources, such as hot engine parts or human body heat, several kilometers away. Longer-distance viewing is made more difficult with LWIR because the infrared light is absorbed , scattered , and refracted by air and by water vapor.

5. Infrared vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_vision

   Infrared vision is the capability of biological or artificial systems to detect infrared radiation. The terms thermal vision and thermal imaging [ 1 ] [ 2 ] are also commonly used in this context since infrared emissions from a body are directly related to their temperature: hotter objects emit more energy in the infrared spectrum than colder ones.

6. Infrared - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

   Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves. The infrared spectral band begins with waves that are just longer than those of red light (the longest waves in the visible spectrum ), so IR is invisible to the human eye.

7. Low light level television - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_light_level_television

   Low light level television (LLLTV) is a type of electronic sensing device, usually a CCD camera sensitive to wavelengths above the normal "visible" (0.4 to 0.7 micrometre) wavelengths, and into the short-wave Infrared - usually to about 1.0 to 1.1 micrometres. This allows viewing of objects in extremely low light levels, where they would not be ...

8. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

   The optical window is also referred to as the "visible window" because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum. The near infrared (NIR) window lies just out of the human vision, as well as the medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) window, and the long-wavelength or far-infrared (LWIR or FIR) window, although other animals may perceive them ...

9. Mercury cadmium telluride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_cadmium_telluride

   Detection in the MWIR and LWIR windows is obtained using 30% [(Hg 0.7 Cd 0.3)Te] and 20% [(Hg 0.8 Cd 0.2)Te] cadmium respectively. HgCdTe can also detect in the short wave infrared SWIR atmospheric windows of 2.2 to 2.4 μm and 1.5 to 1.8 μm. HgCdTe is a common material in photodetectors of Fourier transform infrared spectrometers. This is ...
