Thermal imaging is a type of infrared photography that can be used to detect differences in heat. The camera creates an image based on the temperature of objects in front of it. This allows you to see things that would be otherwise invisible to the naked eye, such as heat loss from a horse's body. Thermal imaging can be used for a variety of purposes, such as detecting injuries, finding sore spots, and checking for circulation problems. It can...

Thermal imaging cameras are special types of cameras that can detect infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a longer wavelength than visible light. Thermal imaging cameras use sensors to detect this infrared radiation and create an image based on the intensity of the radiation. The most common type of thermal imaging sensor is the bolometer. Bolometers are sensitive to changes in temperature, so...

Thermal imaging cameras are just one example of infrared cameras. Infrared cameras measure the temperature of objects using thermal radiation (heat). This form of electromagnetic radiation is invisible to the human eye, but can be registered by electronic devices like thermal imaging cameras. That way, these thermal imaging cameras detect heat emissions which enable them to recognize human bodies or other objects in poorly lit or completely...
