16 Emissivity value
When using the thermal imaging camera, always consider the emissivity of the tar-
get surface the temperature sensor is pointing at.
Emissivity is a measure of how well an object radiates the heat, which affects how
accurate the temperature measurement reflected off that object is.
Emissivity values range from 0 (reflects all energy) to 1.0 (perfectly absorbs and
reflects all energy).
An object can be cool to the touch but look hot if it reflects a nearby source of heat.
Or it can be warm to the touch but appear cooler than other surfaces of the same
temperature.
