Abstract

Infrared Thermography (IRT) is being used in an ever more broad number of application fields and for many different purposes; indeed, any process, which is temperature dependent, may benefit from the use of an infrared device.

All living objects in the world emit infrared energy in the form of heat which is known as its heat signature. Infrared thermal imaging is a method to improving visibility of objects by detecting the objects infrared radiation and creating a new gray scale image based on that information in a dark environment using the infrared radiations.
