High Definition Thermal Imaging

High definition (or high resolution) thermal imaging refers to the fine detail and clarity of a thermal image. This means it contains a large number of pixels per unit of area. In this case, a thermal imaging camera taking a high definition photo means you will find smaller problems at greater distances. You can find significant problems that could be missed with a lower resolution thermal imaging camera. More pixels mean greater temperature measurement accuracy, particularly for small objects. To the professional thermographer, a high definition thermal imager means a strong competitive advantage. Our new P640 high definition thermal imaging camera has a 640x480 detector, which delivers 307,200 pixels versus 76,800 in a thermal imager with a 320x240 detector. That's 4 times better resolution (16 times better than a thermal imaging camera with a 160x120 detector)! A thermal imager capable of doing that saves you plenty of capture and reporting time. A high definition thermal imager is ideal for someone in the utility industry because you can resolve greater detail with smaller targets, while still looking at the larger picture. This is important because it saves time, makes you more productive, allows you to take less photos with your thermal imager, and improves worker safety. You can be twice the distance away as compared to a 320x240 thermal imaging camera, or 4 times the distance as compared to the 160x120 thermal imaging camera. This type of thermal imager can be used on substations, switchyard, transmission and distribution lines, all of which are littered with this type of target.
