Infrared Emission is not visible in the thermal imager

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon, on one of the servers, I suddenly wanted my allies to be visible in the thermal imager, but I did not succeed, since the Infrared Emission is visible only in the Night vision Device. Please correct this error.    

Look wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

are my screen: https://skr.sh/s7VnHAYbigS

 

Screen from Arma 3:

Yes, thermal is heat, so with any thermal view you'll see their heat signatures. Infra-red is a type of wavelength, so uses IR imaging devices to amplify/see its low light emissions. Those 2 arma screenshots look correct to me.

Yep thermal sources like corpses and vehicles are emitting infrared radiations (thermal).

But some models can be poorly scripted for that, depending on mods you play.

 

Consider also, a vehicle can be "cold" if the engine is not running. So difficult to target it with IR sensors! Anyway, you can script some IR parts (like a recently used vehicle) by:

setVehicleTIPars (and its getter getVehicleTIpars)

Да, тепло-это тепло, поэтому при любом тепловом взгляде вы увидите их тепловые сигнатуры. Инфракрасный цвет-это тип длины волны, поэтому он использует ИК-визуализирующие устройства для усиления/просмотра своих низких световых излучений. Эти 2 скриншота arma выглядят для меня правильными.

 

 

Look this market:

and.... look this acrade game  😄 

 

Now I think you understand that such sensors exist.

Then at least enter such beacons as a separate device. Since, judging by the description, it is displayed only in the thermal imaging spectrum.

IR stobes operate in the 750-900 nanometer (0.75-0.9 μm). spectrum of "near" infrared (NIR), which is just below the visible light spectrum. NV (a/k/a Image Intensifier or I2) sensors can see them because they amplify photons that are this low end of the visible light spectrum and extend into the NIR. The digital camera on your cell phone is probably also capable of seeing some NIR wavelengths, like if you aim a TV remote at it and press some buttons, you can usually see the infrared LED light up

On the other hand Thermal Imaging cameras operate in the "mid" and "long" infrared region. Typically in the 3μm - 12μm or 7 μm - 14μm regions. Which is much longer wavelengths than NIR or visible light. So you need sensor array called a microbolometer to convert images in MIR/LIR to the visible spectrum electronically.

 

Strobes designed to emit strongly in the 0.75-0.9 μm region do not necessarily emit in the 3-14μm region. In fact it's probably bad if they do, because 3-14μm is typically absorbed, and heats up objects effecting their electrical efficiency.
