INFRARED
IR IMAGERY IS CAPTURED BY A MID-WAVE INFRARED SENSOR CAPABLE OF DETECTING INFRARED LIGHT AS THERMAL RADIATION. THE DETECTS ARE COMPILED INTO A MAP HIGHLIGHTING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AREAS OF HIGH THERMAL RADIATION AND LOW THERMAL RADIATION.

Infrared (IR) imaging detects emitted, transmitted, and reflected infrared energy and converts it into a false color image. Different energy ranges are depicted as different colors within the image. High amounts of energy are usually shown as warm colors i.e. red whereas low amounts of energy are shown as cool colors i.e. blue. The amount of infrared energy emitted is strongly dependent on the surface temperature of the objects being imaged.
