Typical
Applications
The TP8 thermal
imaging camera is used for plant condition monitoring, structural integrity
inspection, quality control, and research and development in a wide range of
industries - in a measurement range from -20 to 800 °C /-4 to 1470 °F.
On-board IR and
visual cameras enable high resolution thermal and visual images to be stored
simultaneously. Your preferred operational settings can be saved and recalled
instantly. Automatic capabilities include hot spot and image centre detection.
Large capacity (2 Gb) plus image sequence storage come as standard on the TP8.
Imaging Performance
The TP8 uses a
384 x 288 IR camera and a colour 1280 x 1024 visual camera. Operators can
simply locate the scene to be inspected, snap the shutter and then have both
high-resolution thermal and visual images taken and saved together in a single
file with one name. The integrated laser locator also helps operators
accurately associate a hot spot shown in thermal images with the real physical
target.
- Display 256-level grey and colour thermal
images
- on both the VGA LCD and in the viewfinder
- Output both thermal and visual images
- Transfer live thermal video into a PC via the
USB connection
Temperature Measurement
- Automatic calibration ensures high measurement
accuracy
- Auto hotspot tracing and centre-cursor
temperature measurement isolate the problem quickly
- Up to 8 spots can be analyzed simultaneously
(in live, zoomed, frozen or saved format)
- Up to 8 areas can be analyzed simultaneously
(in live, zoomed, frozen or saved format) with respective max., min. or
average temperatures within each area.
- Line, Histogram and Isotherm analysis (in
live, zoomed, frozen or saved format)
Image Storage
The TP8 flash
internal memory can store up to 450 images, the SD card a further 1000 images.
The recording captures dynamic radiometric sequences of moving targets at
different frame frequency. Sequences as well as still images that are stored in JPEG file format,
can be played back on the camera or transferred to a PC for further analysis.
- Store the radiometric data, thermal and photographic
visual images plus voice and text annotation into memory
- Store up to a 30 second voice recording
Image Analysis and Report Generation
IrAnalyser® image
processing and report generation software is a simple to use, Windows® based
system. It provides measurement analysis, image filter and correction, plus
report generation capability. Thermal and photographic visual images are
displayed simultaneously to aid analysis.
Measurement Analysis
A range of
measurement modes is available: Spot, Line, Circle, Polygon Line, Polygon,
Rectangle, Delta two, Isotherms and Histograms
Image Filter and Correction
A range of image
post-processing tools is available to improve image clarity (where necessary)
prior to measurement analysis. These include: Blur, Emboss, Gaussian, Soften,
Sharpen, Edge, Median, Add Noise, Erode, Dilate, Contour and Jitter
Creating an Inspection Report
Creating a report
is a straightforward process, using a simple Microsoft® Word® interface. A
report can be created using the wizard (by using a pre-defined template) or
manually by the user. Report generation using the wizard involves only 5 steps
and takes a matter of minutes. New templates can be easily created. A report
can include the thermal and visual images, measurement details, annotated text
and any other essential information.
