Advanced Techniques for Measuring Temperature or
Radiance of Thermally Dynamic Events
Many applications require the collection of radiometric
data of targets with large temperature differences within the scene
or of experiments during which dynamic temperature changes occur over
a short period of time. This paper introduces new proprietary techniques
that enable the collection of radiometric data under dynamic conditions.

High-performance MCT Sensors for Demanding Applications
Recent MCT Technology Enhancements Yield Improved Long-wave
Infrared Imaging Performance for R&D Applications. There are a
growing number of infrared photovoltaic 2D focal plane array (FPA)
detectors commercially available for integration into high performance
infrared cameras. Proper selection of sensor technology depends on
the application and systems requirements.

High-speed IR Camera Captures Images without Blur:
Results Show Benefits of LWIR Spectral Band
Infrared (IR) cameras can image fast-moving objects
and measure the temperature of any point on an object without the errors
associated with motion blur. One application is in the study of the
thermal characteristics of tires in motion. Using a high-speed IR camera
to observe tires running on a dynamometer at speeds in excess of 150
mph, researchers can capture detailed temperature data during dynamic
testing to simulate turning and braking loads.
