Thermal Imaging Cameras: Characteristics and Performance

By Thomas L. Williams

Providing detailed descriptions of the equipment and techniques that can be used for testing complete thermal imagers as well as their main subunits, this reference provides a sound quantitative basis for evaluating the suitability of various thermal imagers for particular applications. Keeping theory and mathematics to a minimum, the text reviews the important performance parameters for industrial, laboratory, and surveillance applications-including how these parameters can be measured. The author 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.
