Introduction and principles of thermal optical imaging systems

Thermal optical imaging system is an advanced technology that uses thermal infrared sensor technology for near-infrared imaging. By analyzing the infrared heat energy radiated by the target object, the system can measure and analyze its heat distribution, heat changes and other parameters. Thermal optical imaging systems generally consist of infrared thermal imaging cameras, lenses, data processing units, and displays. It has a wide range of applications, including industry, military fields, medical diagnosis, etc.

How thermal optical imaging systems work

The thermal optical imaging system mainly implements thermal imaging through the following steps:

1. Receive infrared radiation energy through an infrared thermal imaging camera.

2. Use a lens to focus the infrared radiation energy onto the infrared sensor.

3. Infrared sensors convert infrared radiation into electrical signals.

4. The data processing unit converts the electrical signals into images through algorithms.

5. The image is displayed on the monitor to facilitate user observation and analysis.

3. Medical diagnosis: Thermal optical imaging systems play an important role in medical fields such as body temperature detection and early cancer diagnosis. By observing and analyzing the heat distribution in various parts of the human body, early diagnosis and prevention of diseases can be achieved.

4. Building inspection: The thermal optical imaging system can monitor the heat distribution and thermal bridges of buildings in real time, helping to discover hidden defects and energy-saving renovation plans. It is widely used in construction engineering, power equipment maintenance and other fields.

Advantages of Thermal Optical Imaging Systems

Thermal optical imaging systems have the following advantages over traditional optical imaging systems:

1. No light source required: The thermal optical imaging system uses infrared radiation for imaging, does not rely on external light sources, and can work normally in dark environments.

2. High sensitivity: Infrared thermal imaging cameras are extremely sensitive to temperature changes and can detect small temperature differences.

3. Wide wavelength range: The thermal optical imaging system can detect infrared radiation that is invisible to the human eye and has a wider range of applications.

4. Real-time monitoring: The thermal optical imaging system can monitor the heat distribution and temperature changes of the target object in real time and feedback relevant information in a timely manner.

5. Non-contact imaging: The thermal optical imaging system does not need to come into contact with the target object, avoiding cross-infection or injury that may be caused by traditional contact temperature measurement.
