hermographic cameras
or infrared cameras are cameras that form an
image using
infrared radiation
military use and have slowly migrated into other fields as varied as
medicine and archeology. In the building industry it has different usages,
for example we can use thermal cameras to detect leakage or thermal
bridges. You can use the the facultys TiR32 Thermal imager to analyze
the thermal radiance of any building, object or even people. The picture on
the right shows an interior corner in infrared as well as the device itself.
There is also a general overview here of the things you need to
understand prior to using a thermal imager in order to understand the
results.
The data can be stored either as a JPG file or as an IS2 file, which is the
equivalent of a RAW format on modern dSLR cameras. While the first
enables you to make fast files for presentation purposes, the latter can be
accessed with the free SmartView software and explored, either you goal
is to extract temperatures in exact positions or you need a report from a
set of images.

The TiR32 is fairly easy to use, but it is not a toy (i.e. it is also not cheap).
You can borrow it as long as you are a responsible person and need the
device for your studies. In this case you should study this page carefully,
going through all the videos and when you come to pick up the device for
the first time, you need to answer some questions to ensure that you are
familiar with the device and also show that you know how to use it. After
you have shown that you can use the device, you will receive booking
access for it in the equipment booking system. If a group wants to borrow
the device, one person still needs to be responsible for the device.
Health and Safety
Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or
explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and
get medical aid.
