I thought that thermal imaging and IR sensors were basically the same thing? Or at least, that thermal imaging was the process of using IR sensors to create an image.
I looked at one for work, basically a cctv camera that could measure the temperature of things in our storeroom. It was under 2k, from memory, with a lot of that price being the pan/tilt/zoom gubbins.
Yeah its the same thing but as previously said getting them at high resolution and framerate is the hard thing. The commonly available stuff has like 100x100 pixels and maybe like 5 Hz refreshrate or something like that.
Probably nothing to do with thermal goggles tho right? Isnt that just a bunch of infrared LED’s and goggles with optical filters.
Maybe if you really stretch it, u could call it a night vision goggle movie prop. Thermal imaging doesnt work without digital sensor afaik?
That would be my understanding. Otherwise we could just buy lenses for regular cameras to turn it thermal, which we can’t afafik
Thermal imaging is even highly regulated military grade stuff i think. u cant buy high resolution IR sensors, which is kinda sad.
You can get reasonably high resolutions. They actually care more about high frame rates in terms of embargos/export restrictions.
The main issue is they start to get ridiculously expensive
