What does FLIR mean in TRANSPORTATION

FLIR works by capturing thermal energy that is emitted from an object and converting it into an image or video. This thermal energy is invisible to the naked eye but can be seen via specialized cameras which are sensitive to infrared radiation. The image is then displayed on a monitor so that users can see the heat signature of any person or thing they are looking for.

FLIR systems typically use thermal imaging cameras which contain lenses, sensors, processing chips, image processors, memory modules and communication modules that enable them to take pictures of objects in total darkness or other inaccesible environments. Additionally, some systems may also include additional features such as laser rangefinders, gyroscopes and accelerometers to capture movement between subjects.

Some common practical applications of FLIR include law enforcement activities such as night-time surveillance and search-and-rescue operations; wildlife monitoring; farming; geological surveys; military operations; industrial maintenance inspections; medical diagnostics; energy management systems; meteorological research; crime scene investigation; homeland security operations; border patrol operations.

Thermal camera systems are highly accurate when it comes to measuring temperature differences between two different objects/areas within its field of view (FOV). All temperatures within its FOV should be accurately reported with minimal errors based on the camera's design specifications.

Yes, FLIR is a very safe technology as long as it is used responsibly according to its designated purpose. It does not emit any harmful radiations so there is no danger of radiation exposure from its use.
