  • Production Line Inspection

    822 Words  | 2 Pages

    electrical fields can generate some risk when working online. For both cases of IR thermography sensing methods and due to the wide variety of production conditions and material processes, there is a need to determine the relation between the detectors (IR camera) and material properties. The aim of this study is to find scalable relations that can be used in developing inspection systems using infrared thermography. The materials used are steel, aluminum and plastic representing three main materials

  • Thermal Cameras: Revolutionizing Assault Investigation

    1313 Words  | 3 Pages

    What lies beneath? Are thermal cameras the next step in law enforcement documentation of assault injuries? I believe it would be fair to say that assault investigations are a daily occurrence for most law enforcement agencies. Techniques of observation are paramount to all levels of law enforcement investigation involving assaults which our profession is often called to investigate. Knowing what to look for and how to look for physical evidence helps to verify assault claims and has a major

    of different variables such as thermal radiation (2007). Thermal sensors that use thermography have many uses that they were created for. Thermal sensors are used in the military to detect explosives frequently. The marines use thermography to spot enemies also. Thermography is not only used by the military, it is also used for medical reasons such as detection of breast cancer (Flir Threat Detection,

  • Characteristics Of An Innovative Humanoid Firefighter

    strength-to-weight ratio. These features comform its function as a strong and light firefighting robot. HFR is equipped with 3 cameras as sensor containers in its head which are normal high resolution camera (RED), night vision camera and infrared thermography camera that forms images using infrared radiation to detect source of fire and gas leak. The fundamental aspect that distinguish it from any other firefighting robots is the way it douses fire by applying low frequency fire suppressing sound wave

  • Low Voltage Cubicle Switchboard (LVSB) Test And Inspection

    connection to be checked in this step. Indeed, the connection is needed to be just be tight enough but how is this connection judged? With different factors such as long-term stress, magnetization effects, vibration or room atmosphere, infrared thermography can be used to check for correct tightness of the connection To measure the temperature of the connection. According to NEC standards, temperature between 65oC -75oC is the allowable temperature of the system dependent to the size and rating of

  • Thermal Imaging

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    Thermal imaging is used for a variety of heat detection tasks including checking for leaks (for all substances have slightly different temperatures) to surveillance/night vision (detecting body heat for when visual detection isn' t possible). Thermography is a science capable of providing very detailed images of situations invisible to the naked eye. Thermal infrared imagers are transverse wave detectors and lens combinations that give a visual representation of infrared energy. The most common

  • International Space Exploration: Does Technology Benefit Society?

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    It can verbally express that technology has benefitted from space research and driven by space exploration as well. The space exploration was a technological focus that provides the advancement in the various field such a science, technology, and medicine. The International Space Station was created for an international research facility. The areas of the NASA's developed technologies benefit society. One of the fields that technologies give influence and impact on society is towards the clothing

  • Ways of Transmitting Heat: Conduction, Convection and Radiation

    energy. Similarly, the shiny surfaces absorb less energy and reflect more energy. This is the main reason that a black car parked in the sun will heat more as compare to the white car. The process of radiation is also used in the field of medicine. Thermography is an interesting use of the radiation in the medicine. Thermograph is a scan of the picture of the body and is a photograph according to the intensity of the radiation at different places. Since diseased parts are usually more hot so thermograph

  • The Electromagnetic Spectrum

    2038 Words  | 5 Pages

    PART 1 The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies of possible electromagnetic radiation. The Spectrum ranges from 0 Hertz up to 2.4x1023 Hertz. The exact wavelength limits of the Spectrum are unknown however it is widely believed that the short wavelength limit is equal to the Planck Length (1.616x10-35m) and the long wavelength limit is the length of the Universe. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is an occurrence that takes the form of self-propagating waves produced by the motion

  • Digital Image Processing Essay

    2394 Words  | 5 Pages

    Digital image processing is the exercise of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images, as a subcategory or field of digital signal processing. Digital image processing has various advantages over analog image processing. It permits a much spacious range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can be avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during processing. Since images are defined over multi dimensions digital image processing may be modeled
