infrared imaging

Infrared imaging detects heat emitted by objects because all objects emit infrared radiation based on their temperature. The camera captures this radiation and converts it into a visible image, where warmer areas appear brighter or in different colors than cooler ones. This technology allows us to see heat differences in various environments, such as identifying heat leaks in buildings, locating people or animals in darkness, or spotting electrical issues. Infrared imaging provides valuable insights without physical contact or visible light, making it a useful tool in many fields like surveillance, maintenance, medical diagnostics, and firefighting.
