  2. Infrared vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_vision

    Infrared vision is the capability of biological or artificial systems to detect infrared radiation. The terms thermal vision and thermal imaging [ 1 ] [ 2 ] are also commonly used in this context since infrared emissions from a body are directly related to their temperature: hotter objects emit more energy in the infrared spectrum than colder ones.

  3. Night vision - Wikipedia

    An M60 tank with an infrared searchlight mounted on the cannon. Active illumination couples imaging intensification technology with an active source of illumination in the near infrared (NIR) or shortwave infrared (SWIR) band. Examples of such technologies include low light cameras.

  4. Infrared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

    Infrared communications are useful for indoor use in areas of high population density. IR does not penetrate walls and so does not interfere with other devices in adjoining rooms. Infrared is the most common way for remote controls to command appliances. Infrared remote control protocols like RC-5, SIRC, are used to communicate with infrared.

    For example, a GEN III OMNI III MX-10160A/AVS-6 tube performs similarly to a GEN III OMNI VII MX-10160A/AVS-6 tube, even though the former was manufactured in ~1992 and the latter ~2005. [33] [34] One particular technology, PINNACLE is a proprietary thin-film microchannel plate technology created by ITT that was included in the OMNI VII ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

    Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foregroundInfrared thermography (IRT), thermal video or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.

  7. Forward-looking infrared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-looking_infrared

    Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, typically used on military and civilian aircraft, use a thermographic camera that senses infrared radiation. [ 1 ] The sensors installed in forward-looking infrared cameras, as well as those of other thermal imaging cameras, use detection of infrared radiation, typically emitted from a heat source ...

    For example, a 2015 study concluded infrared saunas appear to help a person’s neuromuscular system recover from max endurance training sessions. The subjects, however, were 10 healthy ...

  9. Infrared detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_detector

    An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic ( photodetectors ). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [ 2 ]
