Contrasting temperature background for observing objects and events with an IR camera
Technology description
| The name of the technology: | Contrasting temperature background for observing objects and events with an IR camera |
|---|---|
| Challenge: | When observing an object with an IR camera, if the observed object has the same temperature as its surroundings, it may merge with the background when evaluating the thermogram. This effect can be avoided if the background has a contrast temperature. |
| Description: | Temperature contrast is achieved by placing a temperature contrast background behind the observed object. Mechanically, it is a sandwich structure consisting of a matrix that forms its own thermal background, as well as one or more Peltier cells and a heat exchanger that removes heat from the hot side of the Peltier cells. |
| Commercial opportunity: | Commercial applications can be found wherever it is necessary to observe an object in the infrared region, especially in the vicinity or directly on the contours, and where the temperature of the observed object does not differ from the ambient temperature. These are cases of so-called low temperature excitation. |
| IP protection status: | registered utility model of the Czech Republic No. 35734 |
| Development status: |
Phase 2Corresponds with TRL 3 and TRL 4 Feasibility study. There is a realistic design of the technology and the initial tests in the laboratory are leading to the specification of the technology requirements and its capabilities.
