For nearly 20 years, growing numbers of IR detectors have been taking to the skies and beyond as more nations incorporate these devices into their satellites to power their wide-ranging space missions. This exponential rise in the amount of IR sensors orbiting our...
Use of the technique of thermal imaging is growing fast in many fields of activity and particularly in that of medical imaging, for therapeutic and preventive applications. This technology has proved its worth and continues to prove its efficacy in the detection of...
The aeronautics sector has been using infrared technology in both the civil and military fields for over 30 years. In defense, it has mainly been used for IRST (Infrared Search & Track) surveillance missions. But infrared technology is also used in preventive...
Infrared technology is developing and adapting to the needs of its various intended markets. The field of defence shares a number requirements with other markets: smaller sensors, as light a weight as possible, and optimized use of available resources - or to put it...
Technical information plays a mission-critical role in the infrared technology sector. A product's technical data sheet represents an invaluable source of information by providing clearer insights into the detector, its performance levels and how it actually works....
Thermal imaging or thermography involves using specialized cameras to measure the infrared radiation emitted by various surfaces. That information is subsequently converted into a 2D image where the colors represent different temperatures. Data are contactlessly...
Thermal imaging is a fast, effective solution for helping firefighters tackle blazes. Firefighters can use thermal imaging cameras (TICs) to detect hotspots and help them in emergency situations. The high cost of early TICs meant that initial uptake was slow. As...
The health pandemic has been sending shockwaves across the global economy ever since the crisis struck two years ago, and the aftershocks have brought unprecedented changes and upheaval for both individuals and organizations around the world. As the pandemic took hold...
