  • Picking a Thermal Color Palette

    While thermal images may sometimes look like standard photographs, their vivid colors or contrasting grayscale details represent a very specific, very large data set of temperature information. Understanding what these colors and shades represent can help with detecting everything from a water leak to a missing person. 

  • Watertown Public Library Lends out FLIR C5 to Patrons

    The Watertown Free Public Library in Massachusetts recently launched a “Library of Things” lending program—a collection of non-traditional library materials that can be checked out for a week just like a book or a DVD. Among the collection is a FLIR C5, a handheld thermal imaging camera that patrons can use for a variety of home and DIY applications.

  • Unmatched Maritime Awareness with Cooled Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imaging is a longstanding tool for improved marine awareness. Its ability to detect vessels, objects, and body heat in complete darkness and through atmospheric obscurants allows safer, 24/7 navigation. Not all thermal cameras are created equal, variables such as sensor resolution, lens size, and whether the camera is cooled or uncooled influence the image’s clarity and range.

  • Radiation at Chernobyl Today

    How much radiation still remains at the site where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine suffered a massive explosion more than 30 years ago? FLIR finds out using the identiFINDER R440 to measure radiation levels and locate at identify radionuclides at the site, as well as the identiFINDER R100 to determine the total dose of radiation received during a visit to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ).

  • A Perfect Tool for Finding Wildlife

    Tools for detecting wildlife have evolved a lot in the last century. Binoculars are now quite commonly used throughout the world, followed by light amplifying nighttime vision systems that can be used to spot animals at night. But even nightvision sometimes isn't enough for spotting animals in difficult to see conditions, which is why FLIR offers a range of ever-evolving handheld thermal monoculars for detecting wildlife. Thermal imaging cameras see through darkness and ignore visual camouflage. Unlike all other nighttime vision systems, they require no light whatsoever to produce a clear image. Many warm-blooded animals are mostly active at night, using the cover of darkness to remain undetected, but will show up clearly in a thermal image, even in total darkness and in practically all weather conditions.

  • Understanding the EU’s Methane Mitigation Regulations: A Guide to Staying Compliant

    The EU has introduced its first-ever methane emissions regulations for the energy sector, requiring both detection and quantification of emissions. The finalised regulations (EU 2019/942) came into effect on 13 June 2024, and operators must act now to stay compliant. 

  • CA Rule 1178: Adding Technology to Fuel Tank Inspections to Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality

    In 2024, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which includes all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties in the state of California, passed comprehensive updates to California Rule 1178 (CA 1178) to further reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from organic liquid storage tanks at petroleum facilities within the district. The amended rule establishes more stringent leak detection, repair, and control requirements for storage tanks in gas refineries, bulk storage facilities, and oil production sites.
