Canty’s thermal vision system is quite similar to other radiative temperature methods, by measuring the energy produced by a process. The advancements in CCD cameras has allowed for the ability to measure wavelengths in both the visual range and near inferred range. As the intensity of emitted energy of an object grows due to it’s rise in temperature and associated change in color, the camera registers this change. Also, Canty’s thermal vision cameras have excellent sensitivity into the near IR and can detect temperatures of objects starting at approximately 500o F and above. With the ability to detect such a wide range of temperatures, the Canty thermal vision system allows for the use of one tool to detect a wide range of material.
