Non-contact thermography, thermographic imaging, or medical thermology is the field of thermography that uses infrared images of the human skin to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Medical thermology is sometimes referred to as medical infrared imaging or tele-thermology and utilizes thermographic cameras. According ...
Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foregroundInfrared thermography (IRT), thermal video or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.
Minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD) is a measure for assessing the performance of infrared cameras, and is inversely proportional to the modulation transfer function. Typically, an operator is asked to assess the minimum temperature difference at which a 4-bar target can be resolved .
Inset shows false color infrared thermograph of a roof on a sunny day; the white surfaces (colored blue in the thermograph) have been coated with an elastomer to reduce solar loading and have a surface temperature of approximately 60 °F (16 °C); the gray surfaces (colored red/white in the thermogram) are a standard asphalt (bitumen) coating and have a surface temperature of approximately 160 ...
Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, typically used on military and civilian aircraft, use a thermographic camera that senses infrared radiation. [ 1 ] The sensors installed in forward-looking infrared cameras, as well as those of other thermal imaging cameras, use detection of infrared radiation, typically emitted from a heat source ...
Infrared thermography specifically refers to a nonintrusive, noncontact mapping of thermograms on the surface of objects using a detector that is sensitive to infrared radiation. [1] There are many other terms widely used, all referring to infrared thermography; the adoption of specific term(s) depends on the author's background and preferences.

Active thermography, particularly lock-in thermography, is widely employed for inspecting solar cells [6] [8]. While effective, lock-in thermography often requires physical contact with the solar cell for excitation. However, techniques that involve periodic excitation using light sources allow for non-contact testing of electrode-free cells.
