Abstract
Content

The ability to detect the temperature differences of objects is vitally important to firefighters, who must often open doors that lead to fires and identify the seat and extension of a fire quickly and reliably. This palm-sized thermal imaging camera (TIC), the Omega™, has a very wide scene dynamic range. This is critical because the camera can be pointed in the direction of a very hot fire, yet still produces a useable image of the colder surroundings or personnel without saturation.
