"thermographic camera"的定义和意义

What is a "thermographic camera"?

A thermographic camera, also known as an infrared camera, captures images based on heat emitted by objects rather than visible light. It detects infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects and translates it into a visible image showing temperature differences. These cameras are used in various applications, such as detecting heat leaks in buildings, monitoring electrical equipment, and medical diagnostics, as they provide insights into temperature variations and thermal patterns.
