Research Summary
Thermal imaging systems, also known as infrared imaging systems or thermographic cameras, are devices that detect and visualize thermal radiation (heat) emitted by objects and environments. Unlike traditional visible light cameras that rely on the reflection of light, thermal imaging systems detect the infrared radiation emitted by objects based on their temperature. These systems use infrared sensors to capture thermal data and convert it into a visible image called a thermogram, where different temperatures are represented by varying colors or shades. Thermal imaging systems find applications in various fields such as electrical inspections, building diagnostics, firefighting, military and defense, medical diagnostics, and industrial processes. They help identify temperature variations, detect anomalies, monitor equipment performance, and enhance safety and efficiency across different industries and sectors.
The major global suppliers of Thermal Imaging Systems include BAE Systems Plc., Flir Systems, L-3 Communications Holdings, Ulis S.A.S, Lockheed Martin, Drs Technologies, Inc., Elbit Systems Ltd., Raytheon Company, Sofradir Sas, Thermoteknix Systems Ltd., etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
