In general, black objects have more emissivity factor comparing to other 
objects. In other words, the emissivity of duller and blacker materials is 
closer to 1 and the more reflective a material is, the lower its emissivity. 
Highly polished silver has an emissivity of about 0.02.

Thermographic Camera

A thermographic camera or infrared camera is a device that forms an 
image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an 
image using visible light. Instead of the 450--750 nanometer range of the 
visible light camera, infrared cameras operate in wavelengths as long as 
14,000 nm (14 µm).

Application

Thermal imageing photography  have many different usages. For 
example, firefighters use it to see through smoke, find persons, and 
localize hotspots of fires. With thermal imaging, power line maintenance 
technicians detect overheating joints and parts, a telltale sign of their 
failure, to eliminate potential hazards. Where thermal insulation becomes 
faulty, building construction technicians can see heat leaks to improve the 
efficiencies of cooling or heating air-conditioning. Thermal imaging 
cameras are also installed in some luxury cars to aid the driver, the first 
being the 2000 Cadillac DeVille. Some physiological activities, particularly 
responses, in human beings and other warm-blooded animals can also be 
monitored with thermographic imaging. Cooled infrared cameras can also 
be found at most major astronomy research telescopes.

equipment troubleshooting, repair verification, building inspections, 
restoration and remediation work, energy audits, and weatherization 
purposes. Fluke TiR32, is a thermal camera which is optimized for building 
envelope inspections and building diagnostics.
