	ISA \| Thermal imaging sensors: new safety measures
		Thermal imaging cameras work as machine vision sensors, especially when temperature or temperature distribution are critical process attributes—when visibility conditions are inconsistent or otherwise challenging to the human eye.
		Thermal imaging allows users to noninvasively monitor processes and to create new ways to examine operations that have not been available before, especially in adverse environmental conditions.
		Thermal cameras can eliminate time and human error; shut down the line if danger is imminent; schedule maintenance; identify the need for process adjustments; examine, sort and grade parts; automate screening; monitor critical processes; and localize problems.

	Making the distinctive emblem visible to thermal imaging cameras
		Thus, a "standard" red cross or red crescent on a white background is not visible by means of thermal imaging, since there is no difference in temperature between the red of the cross or crescent and the white background (see also the visibility tests conducted in 1989) [2].
		Owing to the thermal characteristics of the tapes, the red cross or red crescent has a different temperature from that of the white background, allowing it to show up in IR photographs.
		"Thermal imaging": by this means, the electromagnetic energy emitted in the infrared (IR) band (8-14 µm) by objects is transformed into electrical signals which are then used to draw a map of heat distribution on the landscape, thus forming a "visible" image.

	About Thermal Imaging (Infrared Thermography)
		Thermal imaging devices provide the observer with instruments that can collect (just like a video or still camera) and convert the thermal infrared radiation emitted (and also reflected) by objects into images that can be seen on a view screen or computer display.
		The imaging devices often have adjustments that enable the user to set the level of sensitivity so that light grays and white occur at higher or lower temperatures, according to the temperature and optical properties of the obects of interest.
		Thermal Imaging practiced in the context of medical dignostics is also growing, but there it is known as "Thermology" to perhaps distinguish it from the practices not involving a person's health.

	The ABB Group: ABB launches thermal imaging survey service for electrical networks
		Using a self-contained, hand-held thermal imaging camera, the ABB team can carry out a thermal sweep of an electrical installation to identify temperature differences caused by changes from normal operating conditions or hotspots which can indicate a developing problem such as a loose or corroded connection.
		Thermal imaging is most useful for the inspection of cables and unenclosed low voltage switchgear, as well as visualising oil circulation in transformers.
		For example, it can be useful to carry out a thermal sweep prior to an annual shutdown to enable the maintenance team to focus on the most likely problem areas, with the additional advantage that the equipment is checked in an on-load condition, when faults are most likely to occur.
