Introduction

Infrared (IR) Cameras are imaging devices, which forms images based on thermal or infrared radiation, similar to common camera, which forms images using visible light and then converts into electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image and perform temperature calculations.

Infrared cameras generate monochrome images because the image sensors used in Infrared cameras does not distinguish different wavelengths of infrared radiation. Infrared cameras not only monitor thermal performance but also identify and evaluate severity of heat related problems. Infrared cameras use cooled infrared detectors and uncooled infrared detectors.

Cooled infrared detectors are contained in vacuum-sealed cases and cryogenically cooled. Uncooled infrared detectors use sensors operated at an ambient temperature. Infrared cameras with detectors are used for various purposes like home automation, security, fire and gas detection purposes. Infrared cameras are initially developed of military usage and now they are used for civilian purposes

Infrared (IR) Camera market drivers and challenges:

Development of high-speed infrared cameras with suitable sensors for measuring temperature and evaluating the relative severity of heat is a driver that contributes to the growth of infrared imaging market. Continuous development of Micro-bolometer, which is used as a thermal detector in Infrared cameras, is advancing technologically these days, which contributes for the growth of the market. Due to advancement in technology used in Infrared cameras, the prices of the old products are reducing gradually which in a way contributes for the growth of the Infrared cameras market

Infrared cameras use sensors which are costly due to the cost of these sensors end product becomes expensive which acts as challenge for the growth of the market. Infrared cameras measures thermal variations sometimes infrared cameras fail to detect the difference between the objects which have same range of temperature which results in inaccurate results
