THERMAL IMAGES
DRONE THERMAL IMAGING
Today’s consumer drones are no longer just for media production and recreational use. In fact, numerous drones are being used for professional applications (aside from filmmaking and real estate marketing) with the use of mounted thermal cameras.
Drone thermal imaging is quickly revolutionizing the worlds of public safety and home and building maintenance.
After all, aerial thermal imaging helps police find suspects or missing persons on hard-to-traverse terrain – in the daytime through canopies of trees or building structures, or at night in all kinds of conditions. Thermal imaging also helps firefighters see through smoke, find trapped people and identify hazardous “hot spots” that require special firefighting strategies. And on the building maintenance front, use of thermal imaging technology has exploded, with thermal photos and video capturing hidden water infiltration or energy loss.
What is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal Imaging sensors are commonly referred to terminology such as thermal camera, temperature camera, heat vision camera, infrared camera, thermal imaging sensor, heat signature camera, and even thermal heat vision sensor.
DRONE HOME INSPECTIONS AND THERMAL IMAGING
Among our many thermal imaging services is moisture detection and energy efficiency assessment for homes and commercial structures. Especially when done in conjunction with thermal photos and videos shot from the ground, aerial thermal imaging detects hidden moisture and energy loss.
DRONE THERMAL IMAGING FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
- Help find people (search and rescue missions)
- Better fight fires
- Reduce poaching
- Reconstruct accidents
- Stop the trafficking of drugs and people
- Assess damage from floods and other disasters and assist in SWAT, high-risk and hazardous materials situations.
DRONES FOR POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
More and more fire and police departments are realizing the need for drones when it comes to public safety. “White-hot” and “black-hot” thermography color palettes have been used for years to find missing persons or track down suspects. But the traditional aircraft used for such missions, like helicopters or small airplanes, have been too cost-prohibitive for most departments.
