I don't think it's an actual thermal camera at all. In other words, I don't think it really detects infrared light. I think it just detects total visible light intensity, and displays that intensity the way an infrared camera would - with maximum intensity displayed as bright red, and minimum intensity displayed as deep blue. You can tell this is the case by taking it into a dark closet. It doesn't detect anything, including your own hands or face, because there's no visible light present. A real infrared camera would "see" your hand or your face in a dark closet. The Photobooth "thermal camera" does not, because it isn't really a thermal camera. Which is unsurprising. CCD's with real infrared detection are kind of expensive.

What is Camera Tracking and Match Moving?

what is matchmoving ? matchmoving is nothing more than figering out what the real world camera did while filming the footage, and it does that by producing a 3D camera matching the real one, which you can use in your 3D program and that process is called camera tracking. So Camera Tracking gives you the ability to add CG objects that match the same position, rotation and prespective of your original footage. Ok, now lets see , How matchmoving programs do camera tracking ? The matchmoving programs are designed to help us figre out the camera movement using information that only containt in a 2D plate. It does that by tracking featured points in the footage and then calculates these results in order to produce a 3D camera that matches the real one.
