The camera also features isotherm types that are specific to the building trade: condensation and insulation alarms.

  • Page 98: Annotating Images

    Annotating images 20.1 General You can save additional information with an infrared image by using annotations. Annota- tions make reporting and post-processing more efficient by providing essential informa- tion about the image, e.g., conditions and information about where an image is taken. Annotations are added to the image file, and can be viewed and edited in the image ar- chive, and also when moving files from the camera to reporting software on the computer.

    20.3.3.2 Manually creating a table template 20.3.3.2.1 General A text comment file (*.tcf) is an annotation format that is proprietary to FLIR Systems. It defines a table structure that can be used to add text table annotations to FLIR images.
  • Page 100 Annotating images The camera ships with an example text comment table file: example_text_comment.tcf. The file is stored on the memory card in the subfolder \TextTableTemplates. You can make a copy of the example file and modify it using a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad.

    A voice annotation is an audio recording that is saved to the infrared image file. The re- cording can be played back in the camera, and in image analysis and reporting software from FLIR Systems. The voice annotation is recorded using a Bluetooth headset. For information on how to pair a headset with the camera, see section 25 Pairing Bluetooth devices, page 101.

  • Page 138: About Calibration

    34.3 Camera calibration at FLIR Systems Without calibration, an infrared camera would not be able to measure either radiance or temperature. At FLIR Systems, the calibration of uncooled microbolometer cameras with a measurement capability is carried out during both production and service. Cooled cam- eras with photon detectors are often calibrated by the user with special software.

    The calibration information, no matter if the calibration is done by FLIR Systems or the user, is stored in calibration curves, which are expressed by mathematical functions. As...

  • Page 140: Non-Uniformity Correction

    About calibration Calibration is also a prerequisite for adjustment, which is the set of operations carried out on a measuring system such that the system provides prescribed indications corre- sponding to given values of quantities to be measured, typically obtained from measure- ment standards.
