Infrared Imaging Science
Informazioni su questo ebook
The book explains how thermal cameras capture temperature variations to detect medical issues like inflammation or even early-stage tumors, offering a non-invasive diagnostic tool.
It also explores the use of infrared imaging in security, detailing how thermal cameras enhance surveillance and detect concealed objects, particularly in low-light conditions.
Beginning with the physics of infrared radiation, the book explains concepts like blackbody radiation, emissivity, and transmissivity.
It then progresses to the application of thermography in medicine, followed by security applications for surveillance and threat detection.
This approach connects theoretical underpinnings with practical implementations, providing a comprehensive overview for students, medical professionals, and security personnel.
The book uniquely correlates the physics of infrared radiation with real-world applications, addressing challenges and opportunities within the field.
It incorporates case studies and experimental data to support its arguments, offering insights into image processing techniques.
By addressing ongoing debates, such as the effectiveness of thermography for breast cancer screening, the book provides a balanced perspective on this versatile technology.
