The importance of image quality in thermography

When conducting infrared inspections, high-quality images that allow for better analysis, presentation, and professionalism are essential.
With a sharply focused image, there is a distinct contrast between areas of varying thermal energy on the surface being inspected. This allows the individual detector elements also known as pixels) to clearly report the intensity of the energy being focused on them.
When the focus is poor, the incoming energy isn’t as concentrated on individual detectors, and their response is skewed. This can lead to temperature measurements that are significantly off, resulting in expensive downtime and possible safety hazards.
Thermal imagers are made with 100% diamond-turned germanium lenses covered with a specialty coating, providing premium quality images.

LaserSharp Auto Focus allows you to select and focus on a specific target

Easily choose and focus on your target
LaserSharp™ Auto Focus uses a built-in laser distance meter that provides both speed and precision. The laser-driven target detection pinpoints the target while the camera focuses to capture a precise, high-quality image. With LaserSharp Auto Focus, you can:

Easily capture high-quality, focused images of your desired target with the push of a button
Take infrared images through common obstacles like chain link fences
Avoid skewed temperature measurements by precisely choosing your target
Perform the same inspections multiple times as a part of your preventive maintenance program – the built-in laser distance meter calculates and displays how far you are from your target, making repeatability much easier

Choose multiple targets at different distances
MultiSharp™ Focus takes multiple images from different focal distances and combines them into one clear image. With a simple point and shoot, you can go from being completely out of focus, to complete focus, throughout the field of view. With MultiSharp:

Reduce the need to take individual images of targets that are in the camera’s field of view – focus on one target, and all objects that are in the camera’s field of view will be in focus
Cut downtime spent taking multiple images to increase productivity
Capture quality, in-focus images, even under direct sunlight

Infrared inspections can take you into multiple types of environments with many types of equipment. Interchangeable lenses that require no calibration give you the versatility and the image quality needed to conduct inspections in almost any environment.

Reduce the need to enter the danger zone with a 2x telephoto lens
Identify potential issues as small and distant as a failed splice on a high electrical line from the ground with a 4x telephoto lens
Save time with roofing and industrial building inspections by viewing a large area at one time with a wide-angle lens

Easily manage and analyze your data

Whether you are troubleshooting or conducting maintenance inspections, having easy access to more information faster is always a big benefit.

Document information on the equipment you’re inspecting
With IR PhotoNotes™, voice or text annotation, you can easily document critical information about each piece of equipment and its location. Each “note” attaches to the image, so you never have to search or match up notes to images.

ROI and thermal imaging

Seven benefits of on-site infrared inspections

Reduce downtime

Inspections can be done while equipment is running – no lost production time.

Protect lives while doing more

The non-contact nature of infrared inspections allows technicians to scan large areas quickly, from a safer distance away. That means technicians can inspect more equipment faster.

Improve production efficiency

Subtle problems are found and addressed before they have a major impact on production.

Document before and after

Validate post-maintenance work and capture the results for future review.

Reduce capital expenses

Finding and repairing problems at an early stage can improve the life expectancy of equipment, as a result extending replacement intervals.

Increase productivity

Quickly scan a large area to find air leaks, insulation gaps, moisture and overheated electrical components to complete more work in less time.

Identify work in easy-to-understand terms

See exactly what the problem is on the camera, eliminating guesswork and making it easier for everyone to see what repairs needs to be done.

Review thermal images side by side, making it easy to compare today’s reading with the baseline or other historical images. Fluke TiS55+ Offers

More pixels, means higher resolution Spatial resolution is based on detector pixels and the field of view FOV) spec, combining them to define the area the imager sees at any given moment. Spatial resolution can be used to help define the smallest object size that can be detected. A lower spatial resolution value means better detail and image quality 2 Focus With a variety of focus mechanisms to choose from, it is important to take into account your skill level as well as the application in selecting a focus type. Here are the common focus mechanisms: Fixed: Point and shoot simplicity Manual: Precise incremental focus Auto focus: Automatically focuses on a target but may require manual adjustment Laser-assisted auto focus: Uses a built-in laser distance meter to calculate distance to the target Multifocal: Captures and stores multiple images of the target from varying focal distances and uses software to blend them into one image with ultra-sharp depth of field detail. Fluke Corp., for example, calls its implementation of this technology MultiSharp™ Focus 3 Temperature range The highest and lowest temperature you encounter in your inspection determines the temperature range you need from your thermal imager. Or, select a camera with a wide temperature range that automatically selects the range based on your scene, or allows you to manually select the temperature range. 4 Lens options A camera that lets you change lenses increases your versatility, allowing you to inspect many more types of equipment and situations. There are lots of choices for lots of applications—standard, wide angle, telephoto, and macro. 5 Saving images and additional data Save infrared and digital images and in some cases voice notes to internal memory, a removable SD card, or to a USB flash drive. It’s important to have the flexibility to save images and additional related data to different media for backup or sharing. TI450 SF6 6 Color palettes Slight differences are easier to see with a monochromatic palette, such as grayscale or amber. High contrast palettes can make it easier to quickly find obvious anomalies. You should be able to change the palette in the camera or in the software. 7 Color alarms Use these to quickly highlight areas outside your normal temperature ranges. 8 Emissivity and reflected temperatures Low emissivity surfaces, such as shiny metals, can reflect infrared energy from other objects and throw off your image and your measurement accuracy. So, look for the option to adjust parameters when choosing an imager. 9 Spot markers Mark specific temperatures on your image to compare simultaneous temperatures from multiple points on the same image. 10 Battery type and life Look for a battery with useful features such a charge level indicator. Nothing is worse than starting an inspection with no idea of the battery status. Also consider long battery life and quick charging ability. Check out the different color palettes available on your thermal imager! View your home through the eyes of a thermal imager and and see where the hot and cold s
