Thermal Mapping with Drones

Thermal imaging or mapping uses heat to indicate different levels of heat. A hot target will be shown as red & a cold target will be shown in blue. Thermal cameras are proven commodities in a number of applications, including residential security, industrial security, & homel & defense. Today, ingenious mining operations are appreciating the ability to see clearly through total darkness, as well as through dust, smoke, & light fog.

In mining, thermal cameras help comm& centre dispatchers see through the dust created by the crushers. They can see when the conveyor belts are too heavily loaded or that the wheels driving the belts are getting too hot. Such information is pertinent to the long-term operation of the mine.

Since thermal imaging cameras make pictures from heat, not light, they can not only track shovels & haul trucks operating in the deepest parts of the mine but can do it with cameras placed along the mine’s perimeter.

One of the unique traits of thermal mapping is that fog & cloud cover does not sway its results.

The application of thermal mapping & imaging are not limited to mining, here are the other ways that drone thermal mapping can help you.

Roof inspections: find roof leaks, locating wet insulation in roofing systems using Infrared Imaging mounted on a drone is the most effective way.

Agriculture: Environmental Monitoring, thermal imaging is growing fast & plays an important role in various fields of agriculture & ecology

High voltage: Inspection of powerlines, abnormal heating associated with high-resistance or excessive current flow is the main cause of many problems in electrical systems

Law Enforcement: Dark or camouflaged clothing worn by a suspect can make it very difficult for officers to use light or night vision technology to distinguish him from his surroundings. Thermal imaging allows seeing the suspect’s body heat, which makes it very difficult for the suspect to conceal his position, whether he is hiding inside of a structure or outdoors.

Solar Inspection: Finding the defective panels, an infrared camera detects the temperature differences in or on a photovoltaic module & visualizes them in a thermal image.

Search & Rescue: Searching for people & animals with the option of alarm mode utilization & manual temperature range tuning.
