Infrared
thermography is a technique for visualising the heat given off by all
objects. Part of the heat lost by an object is in the form of long-wavelength
or 'thermal' infrared light. Invisible to human eyes, this thermal radiation
may be detected by cameras fitted with special electronic chips. The
signals are converted into black and white images, typically with higher
temperatures as bright areas. The images are often colour-coded to enhance
the information. Thermography has an astounding range of applications
from medical diagnosis and search and rescue operations, to energy audits
of buildings and law enforcement.
