infrared image
Thermal vision capture
An infrared image captures thermal radiation invisible to the human eye, revealing heat patterns rather than visible light.
Thermal cameras produce infrared images showing temperature differences—warm bodies glow bright against cooler backgrounds.
The technology serves military surveillance, building inspections, medical diagnostics, and wildlife observation: The infrared image showed heat escaping through the poorly insulated roof.
