Thermal Imaging: There Is No Comparison
The diagram below depicts images from the same scene captured with various
imaging equipment common in today’s surveillance market. Conventional video
surveillance options such as CCTV with Infrared Illuminators, Active Visible (Day TV)
and Image Intensifiers (i2) cannot adequately define the scene with clarity,
as thermal cameras can.
These low-light devices amplify the available ambient
light to produce an image of the scene. Consequently,
image intensifiers need a source of illumination to
operate effectively and cannot perform well in total
Several types of imaging technologies are available
for security applications, but thermal cameras offer
particular advantages that can extend the surveillance
and monitoring capabilities of security systems and
personnel. All competing technologies – visible-light
camera, night vision and near-infrared – have limited
viewing capacity

darkness. Their effectiveness also is hampered by
their limited range. Image intensifiers are subject to a
“blooming” effect that results from brightly lit objects
in the scene. These light sources appear as intense
glows that may hide nearby detail and, if sufficiently
strong, may blind the camera by flooding the scene
with light.

Active Visible Lighting (Day TV)
For security operations, closed circuit TV systems are
oſten coupled with infrared illuminators, such as diodes,
infrared lamps and lasers. With these illuminators, CCTV
offers an improvement in imaging compared with day
TV devices, but it still requires enhanced illumination
when detecting images in semi-darkness and other
low-light conditions. Additionally, CCTV’s capabilities
oſten are limited by range and weather conditions.
Day cameras, employing active visible lighting, detect
the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is
visible to the human eye, a segment ranging from 350
nm to 750 nm in wavelength. Using conventional video
cameras, these systems splash light on the targeted
area to identify intrusions. The light source, however,
draws attention to the device, and intruders may
breach security simply by evading the light. Moreover,
as with any illuminated source, visible-lighting sys-
tems are hindered by limited reliability and duration
for both the camera and the lighting source.

Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE™) Selections
AGC
Firefighter is visible with minimal
contrast. Background of scene is
washed out and nothing is visible
through the window.
AGC- Automatic Gain Control adjusts the image gain to the optimal range.
ICE™ Low- Provides moderate levels of contrast and edge enhancement.
ICE™ High- Additional local area contrast and edge enhancement to enrich background and foreground content.
ICE™ Low
Firefighter and background
are clearly visible with added
contrast and edge enhancement.
No visibility through the window.
ICE™ High
Maximum edge enhancement
brings out details of firefighter and
reveals elements in the distant
background through the window.
