SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the capability of thermal cameras, specifically the FLIR SC7000 Series, to detect temperature differentials in agricultural commodities like corn when subjected to a heat source. The FLIR SC7000 Series boasts a thermal sensitivity of up to 20 mK, which allows for the detection of minute temperature differences. This sensitivity suggests that the camera can effectively distinguish between clean corn kernels and those contaminated with mold or fungus. For definitive results, contacting the manufacturer for further clarification is recommended.
