Aerial Thermography
Aerial thermography provides you with a fast and wide area overview
- Detection of energy losses of buildings and thermal storage ability of biotops
- High geometrical resolution allows recognition of small structurs from big heights
- Fast infrared camera systems offer low smearing
- Integration of GPS data and visual images
- Wide range of accessories like gimbal systems
Wide Range of Products Offers Most Suitable Aerial Thermography Solution for Specific Application
Based on your specific needs of the object or area to be measured InfraTec will configurate the matching combination out of infrared camera systems, lenses, software and accessories. Both cooled infrared cameras of the ImageIR® series and uncooled devices from our VarioCAM® High Definition series with high frame rates can be applied.
Infrared Camera Systems of InfraTec with High Pixel Count and Special Lenses Will Display Smallest Details On the Ground
The high geometrical resolution of the available infrared camera systems allows for the detection of small details from a big height. Like this for instance animals can be surveyed without disturbing them in their normal behaviour. Also in predictive maintenance advantages come up. For instance power transmission lines can be monitored from a helicopter despite of their small thickness. The wide range of available special lenses additionally adds to positive measurement results.
Catching the Fire – Aerial Fire Mapping in New Zealand
Wildfires are a permanent threat for several regions around the world. One approach to tackle them is the usage of airborne fire mapping. It offers a unique elevated perspective on remote fires to those who have to organise firefighting ground activities. For this, our partner Highland Helicopters uses the LWIR thermal imaging camera VarioCAM® HD head from InfraTec, integrated into a GIMBAL system outside the helicopter.

Complex Data Acquisition and Storage Provides for Easy Analysis
Thermal images and sequences of infrared camera systems can be further enhanced by other data. The tools from the software family IRBIS® 3 allow for instance to include images by fast high-resolution cameras in the visible spectrum or GPS data. Thereby also thermal images can be analysed much easier. Also automated tools for reduction of large amounts of data will add to this handling support.
Gimbal Systems for Helicopter Mounting
InfraTec offers various infrared camera systems for fixed mount use in airplanes as well as for integration into precision gimbals. Thereby, the infrared camera can be exactly positioned within a µrad range to track automatically. A handy remote control allows for camera operation directly via the control of the gimbal.
Gimbals, or gyro-stabilized platforms, have been used for many years as very effective systems for airborne thermography in the inspection of high-voltage power lines, pipelines and industrial plants, as well as in the search for energy and material pollution.
