A thermal camera, also known as an infrared camera, is a type of camera that uses infrared radiation to capture images. Unlike traditional cameras that capture visible light, thermal cameras capture the heat emitted by objects and create images based on temperature differences. Thermal cameras are used in a variety of applications, including industrial automation, building inspections, and medical imaging. They can be used to detect temperature variations, identify hot spots, and monitor processes in real time. In industrial settings, thermal cameras are used for predictive maintenance, detecting equipment failures before they occur. In building inspections, thermal cameras can identify areas of energy loss or water leaks. In medical imaging, thermal cameras can be used to detect changes in blood flow or identify areas of inflammation.
