First of all, let\u2019s look a little closer at the technology at hand. Why do the right device settings enhance your viewing experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can see a so-called \u201csensor raw image\u201d to the left. This is what the thermal sensor or micro-bolometer captures without any image processing applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see \u2013 you see nothing!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may now comprehend why it is critical to understand how the image processing algorithm of your thermal device interprets the data to provide an outstanding image.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do we improve the image quality of our thermal devices?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To create the best possible image quality of your thermal device, there are several steps that take place before the image is projected on the display for you to view. The pre-processing phase will eliminate any noise or any variations in pixel response across an imaging sensor. It will also correct for high temperature variations to present an \u201cinitial\u201d image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it is the \u201cinitial\u201d image that I see when I look through my thermal device?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, there are still two additional steps happening before the image is ready for viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Contrast Enhancement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is a crucial technique in image processing that improves the visibility and differentiation of features within an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Edge Sharpening<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It enhances the clarity and definition of edges within an image. By emphasizing the boundaries between different regions, it makes features more distinct and easier to identify. But this will increase the noise in the image. ZEISS uses adaptive sharpening in warm image regions without noise amplification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
