ABSTRACT:
A low-cost portable handheld still-frame thermal camera for capture of calibrated digital thermographic infrared images having a lens assembly, a slideable linear array of uncooled 8-12 um thermal IR sensors, a slider actuation mechanism, and associated digital processing capability for calibrating, displaying, and storing images captured by the camera. The sensors are preferably thermoelectric sensors. The lens passes infrared radiation, the array is contained in an evacuated chamber, and operates at room temperature. The thermographic images may be displayed immediately or remotely or may be printed by conventional techniques.
