Calibrating the Thermal Camera
Thermal imaging, once the domain of the defense sector, is finding applications in a number of commercial and medical fields. As more manufacturers join the thermal camera business, the need to test these devices to recognized standards is becoming increasingly important. After all, they can be fairly tricky instruments to design and build.
Both cooled and uncooled focal plane arrays are sensitive to manufacturing process variations, and thermal camera bodies and lenses are constructed from...
