A complete guide for all those associated with making, acquiring, and using thermal imaging cameras, this text deals primarily with the various performance parameters for industrial, laboratory and surveillance applications, and how they can be measured. It also provides a brief description of the different thermal imagers and how they operate, and covers techniques that can be used for testing complete thermal imagers as well as for testing the main subunits of a thermal imager, such as the lens and detector. Uniquely comprehensive, it even includes descriptions of the principle components...
