Thermal cameras, also known as infrared (IR) cameras, are devices that capture images based on the infrared radiation emitted by objects. Unlike regular cameras that detect visible light, thermal cameras sense heat (infrared energy) and convert it into images. They are widely used across various industries due to their ability to detect temperature differences and provide visibility in low-light or dark environments.

Here are some applications Thermal Cameras:

• Military and Defense: Used for surveillance, target acquisition, and night vision.
• Industrial Inspection: Detect heat leaks, electrical faults, or mechanical wear in machinery.
• Medical Diagnosis: Thermal imaging is used to detect inflammation, blood flow issues, or abnormal body temperatures.
• Security and Surveillance: Enables monitoring in low-light conditions or detecting intruders by their heat signatures.
• Firefighting: Helps firefighters detect hot spots, find people in smoke-filled environments, and locate sources of fires.
• Automotive: Assists in autonomous vehicles for night driving and object detection.
• Public Safety: Used during the COVID-19 pandemic for temperature screenings to identify potential fevers in crowded areas.
