2.5 Thermal Imaging Overview
The thermal camera makes an image based on temperature differences. In the thermal image, by
default the hottest item in the scene appears as white and the coldest item is black, and all other
items are represented as a gray scale value between white and black.
Both thermal and daylight cameras have detectors (pixels) that detect energy. One difference
between thermal and daylight cameras has to do with where the energy comes from to create an
image. When viewing an image with a daylight camera, there has to be a source of visible light
(something hot, such as the sun or lights) that reflects light off the objects in the scene. The same is
true with human eyesight; the vast majority of what people see is based on reflected light.
