  2. Forward-looking infrared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-looking_infrared

    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 ...

  3. Thermal imaging camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_imaging_camera

    A thermal imaging camera (colloquially known as a TIC) is a type of the thermographic camera used in firefighting. By rendering infrared radiation as visible light, such cameras allow firefighters to see areas of heat through smoke, darkness, or heat-permeable barriers.

  4. Thermography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

    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.

  5. Thermal remote sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Remote_sensing

    Thermal Infrared Image by Mars Odyssey's thermal emission imaging system of Mars. Thermal remote sensing is a branch of remote sensing in the thermal infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. [1] Thermal radiation from ground objects is measured using a thermal band in satellite sensors. [2]

  6. Hot mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_mirror

    Hot mirror in front of the image sensor of a DSLR. Note reddish reflection of ambient light, and teal edge of filter. A hot mirror is a specialized dielectric mirror, a dichroic filter, often employed to protect optical systems by reflecting infrared light back into a light source, while allowing visible light to pass.

  7. Automotive night vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_night_vision

    This system was developed with Raytheon and worked by using a passive infrared sensor camera mounted behind the vehicle's grille. Infrared radiation is picked up by the sensor, processed by computer and then displayed on the windshield using a head-up display. Information is displayed as a black-and-white image with warmer objects in white ...

  8. Microbolometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbolometer

    Simplified representation of a bolometric pixel. A microbolometer is a specific type of bolometer used as a detector in a thermal camera. Infrared radiation with wavelengths between 7.5–14 μm strikes the detector material, heating it, and thus changing its electrical resistance.

  9. Bolometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolometer

    A microbolometer is a specific type of bolometer used as a detector in a thermal camera. It is a grid of vanadium oxide or amorphous silicon heat sensors atop a corresponding grid of silicon. Infrared radiation from a specific range of wavelengths strikes the vanadium oxide or amorphous silicon, and changes its electrical resistance. This ...
