What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging, also called thermography.  Everything gives off some amount of thermal radiation and thermal imaging is used for observing the heat that is emitted from these objects. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermal imaging allows humans to see variations in temperature. When observed through a thermal imaging camera, hotter objects stand out well against cooler surroundings. Thermal imaging is used widely in many industries in a predictive and proactive way to ensure electrical safety is met, so that mechanical or electrical failure is prevented. Thermal imaging is also used in security, the military, marine, navigation, surveillance, firefighting, medicine, and science.
