thermal imagery

Infrared camera output

Thermal imagery is visual representation of heat patterns, typically captured by infrared cameras that detect temperature differences invisible to the naked eye.

The technology renders warm objects as bright areas and cool ones as dark, or uses color gradients to show temperature variation.

Applications include building inspections, search and rescue, military surveillance, and medical diagnostics: Thermal imagery revealed heat escaping through the poorly insulated roof.
