In simple terms, it is a way of creating an image from differences in infrared radiation rather than from ordinary visible light. A thermal camera does not work like a normal daylight camera. Instead of mainly recording reflected visible light, it senses heat-related infrared energy and turns those differences into a visible picture that humans can interpret.</p> <p>That is why thermal imaging is often described as making the invisible visible. NASA&rsquo;s infrared-wave material explains that hotter objects emit more infrared energy, and that the thermal-infrared region is especially useful for studying emitted thermal energy. A thermal camera uses that principle in a practical way. It detects infrared radiation and converts it into an image where warmer and cooler areas appear different from one another.</p>
