Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging enables us to view the world through the infrared band to analyze problems beyond the spectrum of visible light. Using thermal imaging cameras Rencon can assess situations such as energy loss, heat mapping, and wildlife tracking in both daytime or night time operations
Thermal imaging with drones enhances our ability to monitor, analyse, and respond to thermal patterns and anomalies across various environments and applications, offering valuable insights for a wide range of industries and activities
Dedicated Services
Rencon Air & Land’s primary thermal services include:
- Wildlife Monitoring: Studying animal behaviour and population counts.
- Post Bushfire Detection: Assessing fire hotspots, monitoring fire spread, and identifying hotspots after extinguishment.
Other Thermal Imaging services can include:
- Building inspections to detect issues such heat loss, water leaks, and insulation deficiencies.
- Agricultural applications like crop health assessments, irrigation effectiveness, and pest management
- Vermin identification and population counts
- Security and Surveillance including monitoring perimeters and identifying intruders at night
- Search and Rescue operations
Why use thermal imaging with drones?
Infrared Sensing
Every object with a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F) emits infrared radiation, and this radiation varies depending on the object’s temperature. Drones equipped with thermal cameras to detect infrared radiation emitted by objects to accurately visualise temperature of an object, organism or infrastructure.
Integration
Thermal imaging can be integrated with other drone technologies such as LiDAR and RGB (visible light) cameras to provide comprehensive data analysis and visualisation.
Heat Mapping and Fire Spread Monitoring
Thermal cameras on drones capture this infrared radiation and convert it into thermal images. These images represent temperature variations across the scene, assigning colours or grayscale values to different temperature ranges. Warmer areas appear brighter or with warmer colours (like red or yellow), while cooler areas appear darker or with cooler colours (like blue or purple).
Advantages
Thermal imaging with drones offers several advantages:
- Mobility: Drones can access difficult or dangerous terrain, providing aerial views and thermal data from inaccessible locations.
- Efficiency: Rapid deployment and data acquisition enable quick decision making and assessment.
- Non-invasive: Allows for non-destructive testing and inspections without physical contact.
