Hey everybody!

I thought about bringing some fun into this forum so my idea was to post a little something. My idea is to post a picture for the coming 12 days up to Christmas Eve. Those pictures will be thermal pictures that I took, using various locations, targets, palettes, settings and processing to make them look nothing like a normal thermal image - but still visually pleasing.

And then everybody is invited to guess the subject! I will reveal the answer with the post for next day.

If anyone has any more ideas or want to contribute by themselves, feel free to post a reply!
Only rule I would set is that it has to be an image you took, or an image in which production you were involved with.
Anything is allowed, MSX, Visual, overlayed, picture in picture, flipping, stiching or even video/gifs. But must be mainly a thermal images done by S-/M-/LWIR or some special hyperspectral imaging system.

I don't think there will be a prize for guessing correctly, and I will not spoil it if someone has the correct guess to keep others the fun.

I will start on the 12 and will post every day through the 24th. I try to post as early as possible for my timezone (CET) .

Five freshly made snowballs sitting on the snow.

Five particularly warm freshly made snowballs...?

Or maybe a cuboid with a total of 21 spots distributed over its faces.

There are round waves around hot dots.

A white or bright colored dice with black dots

There were ideas in different directions. But the clue to the solution was in the noisy background. A classmate actually solved it without any help. Maybe because he knows these and saw them already.

It is a sewer grate, close up. Shot in Thermal Camera + with superresolution on medium and nearest neighbor upscaling. Using the rainbow palette. Not calibrated in anyway. It was a snowy day and the sewer was warm from below. I took a few pictures but only this one made it interesting and mysterious.

I will attach a visible image of an MSX I took from a little further so you can understand it.

Here comes the next one

Edit: had to modify and reupload this one flipped because I put up a radiometric jpeg with embedded visual originally

Wow, there are more and more people joining.

But i have to agree this was harder then I expected. It looks like a few things and he missing quality of my camera will always be an issue.

It's a vacuum cleaner tube, aluminum. Shot into it from very close. Maybe you can see the slid on the one side and then the nobs for the telescope on the opposite site. This might only look familiar to people who used this vacuum.

It is a radiometric jepg, captured in Thermal Camera+. The image was been edited in the flir tools app on Android to flip the Iron palette to make it look even stranger and was then flipped in Google photos to create a new jpg, that won't reveal the visual image once downloaded and used in any radiometric software.

It is a reindeer barbecuing a large sack of presents to show naughty children the consequences of their actions.

It looks like a cat tree to me.

i guess its a 3D Printer (maybe Ultimaker) and the printed Object on the hot Groundplate is a Vase.

Yup, a 3d printer for sure. I think Joe will take a lead on this game

Vipitis · « **Reply #23 on:** December 14, 2017, 10:59:30 pm »

It is my 3D printer after finishing a long print. The model is a vase by Devin Motes at 180% scale.

I used the lava palette and scrubbed it really far in flir tools on Android so there is no histrogramm stretching.

I didn't find time and motivation to move on to the advanced stuff yet, but that may comes with the weekend.
