Befo re using Inf rared Camera consid er the
objects that you are going to image. Will
you use comparative ther mography (simply
looking for tempe rature difference) or are
you goin g to attempt to make an a ccurate
temperature measurement?
4
For comparativ e thermography, do not
amend th e emissiv ity se tting and leave this
const ant ever y time you c arry ou t imaging.
Temperature differences over time will then
be valid although t he ambient temperature
may hav e changed as w ell as the electrical
or mechanical load of t he object .
5
For accurate ther mal measur ement the
emissi vity of the objec t will need t o be
considered and the c amera emissivit y
setting corrected.
In addition background and reflected ambient
will need to be consid ered as well as thermal
and solar reflect ion and rela tive humidity.
