Thermal Imaging Camera Training (Autumn 2011)

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects above absolute zero according to the black body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to see one’s environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see variations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds; humans and other warm-blooded animals become easily visible against the environment, day or night.

Alex Rice will be running three training sessions on how to use and interpret information from CCF’s thermal imaging camera on (you only need to attend one):

Tuesday 20th September FULL

Tuesday 4th October FULL

Thursday 20th October

7.30 – 9.30pm

Booking essential – email beejal@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org

Venue – CCF Office, Future Business, Milton Rd, CB4 1UY

After completing the training volunteers are able to book to use the camera, in the past volunteers have used the camera on their own house, neighbours, at local events, taken it into schools and workplaces etc.
