The ability to see through smoke and mist and the ability to use
the variances in temperature to differentiate between targets and
their backgrounds are invaluable in military applications and have
become major motivators for the further development of thermal
imagers. As the potential of thermal imaging is more clearly
understood and the cost decreases, the number of industrial and
civil applications being exploited is growing quickly. In order to
evaluate the suitability of particular thermal imaging cameras for
particular applications, it is important to have the means to
specify and measure meaningful performance characteristics. Thermal
Imaging Cameras: Characteristics and Performance expands our
current understanding of thermal imaging and, most importantly,
provides a sound quantitative basis for evaluating the suitability
of various thermal imagers for particular applications. Utilizing a
practical approach that keeps theory and mathematics to a minimum,
the text reviews the important performance parameters for
industrial, laboratory, and surveillance applications as well as
how these parameters can be measured. The author, T. L. Williams, a
distinguished expert on designing and testing thermal imaging
systems and recipient of the Callendar Medal from the Institute of
Measurement and Control, focuses on the standard form of imaging
camera but also includes descriptions of the different specialized
forms of thermal imagers useful to anyone working with these
systems. Providing detailed descriptions of the equipment and
techniques that can be used for testing complete thermal imagers as
well as in the testing of the main subunits of a thermal imager,
this comprehensive reference will prove invaluable not only to
those who use, test, and design thermal imagers, but also to anyone
designing equipment or making measurements in the thermal band of
wavelengths.
