  • Page 16 Seek Thermal Thermography Basics Thermography Basics Thermal infrared cameras provide a non-invasive, efficient, and proactive approach to surface temperature-related measurement. However, it is essential to understand the underlying principles to help appreciate the limitations. A thermal infrared camera transforms infrared radiation into a visible image by capturing the intensity of the infrared energy.
  • Page 17 10x10 spot size may result in lower accuracy of measurements. To maintain measurement accuracy, Seek Thermal recommends a minimum of 10x10 “pixels on target,” or the number of pixels the target object covers in the image. Larger objects can be measured at higher distances, whereas smaller objects must be closer to the camera for accurate measurement.
