Radiometric: The Zenmuse H20T captures radiometric thermal data, meaning each pixel's value represents the temperature of the corresponding object. This allows for accurate temperature measurement and analysis.

Non-radiometric: Non-radiometric cameras only capture infrared data without temperature information. They are not suitable for accurate temperature measurement.

The Zenmuse H20T's capabilities make it suitable for various applications:

Industrial Inspections: Identify thermal anomalies in machinery and equipment.

Search and Rescue: Locate individuals in low visibility conditions.

Environmental Monitoring: Monitor temperature variations in ecosystems.

Emissivity is a measure of how efficiently an object emits thermal radiation. It affects the accuracy of temperature measurements. Different materials have different emissivity values. For accurate readings, it's important to set the camera's emissivity according to the material being observed. Examples include:

Metals:  Low emissivity

Organic Materials:  Higher emissivity

Thermography courses can help understand thermal imaging principles, camera settings, and data processing techniques for accurate and meaningful results. It ensures that you can use the technology effectively and interpret the data correctly.

Resolution: Higher resolution is generally better for detailed analysis. Adjust altitude and distance to balance resolution and coverage.

Time of Day: Consider the time of day for inspections. Thermal imaging is often more effective during temperature differences, such as early morning or late evening.

Data Transfer: Transfer the captured R-JPEG images to a computer for processing.

Orthomosaic Creation: Use DJI's specialized software to create a radiometric orthomosaic by combining thermal and visual data.

Analysis: Analyze the orthomosaic for temperature variations, anomalies, and other relevant information.
