Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is infrared thermal imaging?
In nature, all objects whose temperature is higher than absolute zero (-273℃) can radiate infrared rays. By using the infrared camera detector to measure the infrared radiation temperature difference between the target itself and the background, you can get different infrared images, which are also called thermal images.
2. How do infrared detectors work?
Infrared radiation emitted by targets enters the sensing range of the thermal detector. The infrared detector converts the radiation signal of different intensity into corresponding electrical signals, and then through amplification and video processing, forms infrared images that can be observed by the naked eye.
3. What are the advantages of cooled infrared detectors?
The cooled infrared focal plane detector operates at low temperature provided by a detector dewar cooler (DDC). It has high sensitivity and can distinguish more subtle temperature differences than uncooled infrared detectors. It can detect, identify, and recognize objects at very long ranges exceeding ten kilometers. The complex structure of cooled detectors results in relatively higher costs compared to uncooled detectors.
