Hi. My name is Jerry, and I am new to the site.
I have a question about off-the-shelf thermal imaging hardware (camera, meter, etc)
in regards to a problem I am tasked with solving. I have no training or experience in
thermal imaging and am looking at this as one of several potential means of devising a solution..
I am sorry that I can not give specifics, but I can
offer enough information to provide a proper scenario.
Let us imagine that something is buried underground, and that above this object,
there is a one degree temperature difference from the ground not directly over the
object.
My question is this: Is there any currently availabe equipment that is sensitive enough to
detect the one degree difference, or has adjustable sensitivity that could be adjusted to
detect that small of a difference? The ideal situation, would be that the area above the object would
stand out from the surrounding area.
I have been trying to look at different equipment and have been unable to determine
which could be used. Perhaps, because of my lack of experience, I am just overlooking
a specification or rating that provides this information, so any insight would be greatly
appreciated.
