A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
To be honest It wasn't me who decided the camera. This is a complicated situation as I'm just an employee and I don't have decision making authority. I just gave the technical requirements and my boss sent them to the chinese supplier. The chinese supplier chose the camera. The system was handed...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
I forgot to mention one thing. We actually had a very similar system with a thermographic camera "http://www.coxcamera.com/en/bbs/board.php?bo_table=pro02_en&wr_id=2". This was bought from another supplier. As you can see they have an "extreme" temperatures measurement range. We don't need that...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
@sophiecentaur The system was ordered from a chinese supplier (ptz+cameras) to be sold to our client. The client specified the characteristics of the camera and we asked them (chinese supplier) to grant a system that would work for them. They gave us a PTZ with that camera. Now apparently it...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
Hi there, I contacted the supplier of the camera and only today I got an answer. Apparently, it is not possible to switch off the auto gain control. If I understood correctly about AGC, this feature adapts the intensity of the pixels based on what is in the image. For instance, if we have a...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
The jpeg image is grayscale. We use the "White hot" pallette. The ideal solution was to have raw data, but this is not possible with the camera we have. We know that jpeg is a compression algorithm (we are losing information). Also, we are in this trouble because we need to sell a whole system...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
Ok, I'm going to give you more insight. We have an hikvision camera (thermal, not radiometric). The idea is to spot high temperatures at different distances (10+ kilometers). We know that radiometric cameras can measure temperatures, but these temperatureas are apparent. With a formula we could...- pcarvalho

A Detection of hot spots with a thermal (non-radiometric) camera
Hello, We have a thermal camera and its purpose is to detect hot spots at different distances. We made an experiment with a JPEG picture and we noticed the following: At the same distance, one object at 600 degrees and an object at 38 degrees (human body) have the same pixel intensity (255 in...- pcarvalho
