Appleton’s fire department is now using high-tech technologies to find accident victims. The fire department used a thermal imaging detector to find an accident victim who was thrown from a car during its rollover. The firefighters admit that thermal imaging cameras are a great tool in any emergency situation. . Source: nbc26.com .
Ford engineers are using thermal imaging technology to eliminate annoying noises that come from the interior of vehicles during the design process. In a press release from Ford, it was mentioned that the thermal imaging camera is aimed at a vehicle whose cabin is being pumped full of heated air. In the thermal image, the [...]
Flir has again introduced new series of thermal imaging cameras for the benefit of the R&D applications. This time the cameras are faster and with a cooled detector. Source: infolink.com.au . With more sensitivity and higher frame rate, the FLIR A35x0sc/A65x0sc series provide better quality image than thermal imaging cameras with an uncooled detector. Also [...]
Take a look at how the Paris Air show 2013 looks through Flir thermal imaging camera.
A kitten got missing 45 minutes after its guardian had brought it home and left it to explore the environment. It fell into an open vent and ended up in the ducts of the Panorama Hills home where he was brought. Fire fighters eagerly searched every pipe in the home. The kitten was then found [...]
On Tuesday night, an elderly woman who got missing was found safe in a wooded area on the city’s eastern edge after a three-hour search. The Rochester Fire Department including some emergency responders searched thoroughly the wooded area which was near 4551 College View Road S.E. They used rescue equipment which included thermal imaging cameras. [...]
New to thermal imaging cameras, Ikaros Solar sought to experiment on how thermal imaging could help in their solar panel inspections. FLIR came out as the best after a demonstration among the five biggest suppliers of thermal imaging cameras. FLIR T335 was the camera of choice. This camera has an uncooled microbolometer detector. With a [...]
The efficiency of FLIR thermal imaging cameras is evident in the industrial predictive maintenance applications. Many industrial companies are using FLIR thermal imaging cameras to reduce the risk of disrupting production processes. These technological devices have also led companies to avoid unnecessary cost and breakdowns. One of the largest consultancy agencies admitted their reason for [...]
The FLIR A3500sc/A6500sc cameras introduced by FLIR systems are exclusively designed for R&D and industrial applications. These include type/brake testing, welding/soldering processes, glass measurement and fast moving process control. The cameras consist of a cooled 3-5 micron MW-IR detector meant for R&D applications since this field often requires more sensitivity, better image quality and a [...]
Engineers in the Coordinated Robotics Lab at the University of Calofornia, San Diego have developed new techniques to help improve methods used in fire fighting. They have created small mobile robots that will take thermal data with an in-built infrared camera. This data will then be mapped onto a 3D scene constructed from images taken [...]
