What is the difference between thermal imaging and infrared imaging?

Thermal imaging and infrared imaging are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. Thermal imaging specifically detects the heat emitted by an object or surface, while infrared imaging refers to the use of infrared technology to capture images beyond the visible spectrum, which can include both thermal and non-thermal information.

How do the police use infra red radiation to track criminals?

Police can use infrared radiation to track criminals by using thermal imaging cameras, which detect the heat emitted by objects and individuals. This allows law enforcement to locate suspects, especially in low-light or obscured conditions, by detecting their body heat. Thermal imaging can be used in search and rescue operations as well, helping locate missing persons or fugitives.


What are the differences between infrared and thermal imaging technologies?

Infrared imaging detects heat emitted by objects, while thermal imaging captures temperature variations. Both technologies use heat signatures to create images, but infrared is more focused on heat detection, while thermal imaging provides detailed temperature readings.


What is the purpose of a thermal imaging scope?

Why is thermal imaging useful?

Thermal infrared cameras are used for many things. Examples of this are with firefighters. Firefighters use these cameras to see through smoke and possibly through walls. Also, police officers may use these cameras to seek out running criminals in the dark. People interested in the supernatural may additionally use thermal infrared cameras as it can help to see paranormal apparitions.
