Thermography measures heat radiation and calculates the surface temperature. It is important to understand heat radiation in order to obtain the correct measurements. For example. can the temperature not be measured correct on shiny metals with thermography.
The background of thermography: Heat radiation
Heat radiation is the part in the world of thermography that is the most difficult to understand, but also the most important; Think of a thermography camera as a heat radiation camera. It is a bit like visible light, but there are some significant differences that need to be understood in order to obtain correct measurements.
