What is thermography?

Thermography is an infrared imaging technique that detects and measures thermal energy (heat) emitted by an object. By visualizing temperature differences, it can be used for various applications, including building inspection (detecting insulation problems and leaks), medical diagnostics (identifying areas of inflammation), electrical and mechanical maintenance (detecting overheating components), and security/surveillance (detecting people or objects in low-light conditions).

What other technologies are related to thermography?

thermography Competitor Technologies

Vibration analysis, like thermography, is used for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring of machinery. They both aim to detect faults early, but use different physical principles.
