Airborne Thermography

Airborne thermography provides you with a fast and wide area overview

  • Detection of energy losses of buildings and thermal storage ability of biotops
  • High geometrical resolution allows recognition of small structurs from big heights
  • Fast infrared camera systems offer low smearing
  • Integration of GPS data and visual images
  • Wide range of accessories like gimbals

Details about airborne thermography

Wide range of products offers most suitable airbone thermography solution for specific application

Based on your specific needs of the object or area to be measured InfraTec will configurate the matching combination out of infrared camera systems, lenses, software and accessories. Both cooled thermal cameras of the ImageIR series and uncooled devices from our VarioCAM ® high resolution series with high frame rates can be applied.

Infrared camera systems of InfraTec with high pixel count and special lenses will display smallest details on the ground

The high geometrical resolution of the available thermal camera systems allows for the detection of small details from a big height. Like this for instance animals can be surveyed without disturbing them in their normal behaviour. Also in predictive maintenance advantages come up. For instance power transmission lines can be monitored from a helicopter despite of their small thickness. The wide range of available special lenses additionally adds to positive measurement results.

Complex data acquisition and storage provides for easy analysis

Thermal images and sequences of thermal camera systems can be further enhanced by other data. The tools from the software family IRBIS ® 3 allow for instance to include images by fast high-resolution cameras in the visible spectrum or GPS data. Thereby also thermal images can be analyzed much easier. Also automated tools for reduction of large amounts of data will add to this handling support.

Precision positioning by integration into gimbal

The infrared camera system of InfraTec can be fixed mounted in airplanes but also be integrated into precision gimbals. The thermal camera thereby can be exactly positioned within a µrad range and it can also automatically track. A handy remote control allows for the camera control directly via the control of the gimbal.

Case Study

Thermography for Aerial surveys

Aerial surveys ask for small and lightweight but also of course for very precise thermographic camera solutions. Little distortion of the lenses and a high frame rate are other important features which InfraTec´s VarioCAM ® hr head models come with a big advantage. Therefore, those thermal cameras are implemented in the IGI DigiTHERM system which is to provide its customers with a very detailed image of the ground surface.
