You should know the best practices for using a thermal images camera to get high-quality photos. A quality image is more than just appearance and aesthetics. We will pinpoint some important areas of concern.

Focus

Focus affects the quality of a thermal image as well as the temperature measurement data accuracy that you capture using your camera. A blurry image can be worse than having no image at all. Your measurements could be off by about twenty degrees if your image is out of focus. You should choose the right focus type –automatic, manual, or fixed. The focus you choose should match the typical distance to your target.

Optics

The lens material will determine how efficiently thermal energy is transmitted to the detector of your camera. This impacts the image quality directly. Losing too much energy through the optics can lead to a loss of detail.

Detector resolution

This is a very important factor to consider when using your thermal camera Australia. The number of detector pixels on your camera is an important factor in the image quality. There will be more detail in your image if there are more detector pixels focused on your target.

Field of view

The field of view works hand in hand with the resolution of the detector to determine the image quality. The field of view defines the area that the imager sees at any time. Field of view requirements vary depending on the application.

Spatial resolution

You should consider the spatial resolution when using a thermal image camera. Both the field of view and detector resolution play an important role in the detail of your image. You will be happy to know that the spatial resolution takes both into account. It can be considered as a way to define the smallest object size that your camera can detect.
