Qualitative thermography
thermography that relies on the analysis of thermal patterns to
reveal the existence of and to locate the position of
anomalies
13
Quantitative thermography
thermography that uses temperature measurement to deter-
mine the seriousness of an anomaly, in order to establish re-
pair priorities
13
Radiative heat transfer
Heat transfer by the emission and absorption of thermal
radiation
Reflected apparent temperature
apparent temperature of the environment that is reflected by
the target into the IR camera
14
Spatial resolution
ability of an IR camera to resolve small objects or details
Temperature
measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules and
atoms that make up the substance
Thermal energy
total kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the object
15
Thermal gradient
gradual change in temperature over distance
14
