infrared detection
Thermal radiation spotting
Infrared detection is sensing electromagnetic radiation just beyond visible red light—the wavelengths associated with heat.
Security systems use infrared detection to spot intruders by their body heat.
Night-vision devices, motion sensors, and thermal cameras all rely on detecting infrared radiation that objects naturally emit or reflect.
