What is IR image processing?

Thermal imaging is simply the process of converting infrared (IR) radiation (heat) into visible images that depict the spatial distribution of temperature differences in a scene viewed by a thermal camera.

How does the AMG8833 work?

The AMG8833 is the next generation of 8×8 thermal IR sensors from Panasonic, and offers higher performance than it’s predecessor the AMG8831. The sensor only supports I2C, and has a configurable interrupt pin that can fire when any individual pixel goes above or below a thresholds that you set.

How infrared images are useful?

Given that infrared imagery can tell us about the altitude of cloud tops, and visible imagery can tell us about the thickness of clouds, meteorologists use both types of images in tandem. Using them together makes for a powerful combination that helps to specifically identify types of clouds.

How do I process an IR image in Lightroom?

The easiest way to convert an infrared image is to use one of the black and white presets available in Lightroom’s Develop module. The preset menu in Lightroom Develop Module. The presets are in the left panel of the Develop module. Click on B&W to open the drop down menu with the different black and white presets.

What is MLX90614?

The MLX90614 is an infrared thermometer for non-contact temperature measurements. Both the IR sensitive thermopile detector chip and the signal conditioning ASIC are integrated in the same TO-39 can.

What is a thermal sensor made of?

They consist of a sensing element which can be either glass or epoxy coated and have 2 wires so they can be connected to an electric circuit. They measure temperature by measuring the change in resistance of the electric current.

How do I turn my camera into infrared?

You can convert your camera to only receive infrared light by replacing the IR blocking filter with one which instead blocks visible light. This makes your camera an IR-ready tool — you can easily use it like you would normally, except it will capture infrared images.

Is FLIR the same as infrared?

FLIRs make pictures from heat, not visible light. Heat (also called infrared, or thermal, energy) and light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a camera that can detect visible light won’t see thermal energy, and vice versa.

Can IR camera see through clouds?

In each case, pilot vision improves, but clouds and fog remain a problem. Water droplets are usually smaller than 100 microns, which is small, but still much larger than the span of an infrared or visible-light wave, so neither infrared light nor visible light can pass easily through clouds.
