ABSTRACT:
In thermography apparatus, a lamp102is modulated sinusoidally and a camera106captures thermal images at the modulated frequency, but delayed by an adjustable preset delay. A signal delay box107is connected between a sinusoidal modulation signal function generator104and the camera106. The delay box introduces a delay to the function generator signal so that the thermal image is captured after a period of time, resulting in an enhanced image.
