Infrared Camera Accuracy and Uncertainty in Plain Language

Author: Ross Overstreet, Senior Sales Manager, FLIR R&D/Science Segment
Thursday, March 31, 2016
How accurate are thermal imaging cameras, and how are they calibrated? Understanding infrared camera accuracy and sensitivity can help clarify the value of well-calibrated thermal imaging cameras. In this paper, we use layman’s terms to explain how IR cameras are calibrated, how their accuracy is determined, and which variables can affect measurement results.
