Settings
Emissivity
All objects emit thermal energy. The volume of energy
depends on the surface temperature and emission degree of
the object. The thermal imager measures intensity of radiation
and uses it to calculate the temperature of the object. Objects
with different surfaces at the same temperature emit different
amount of thermal energy. Most of the items and materials,
for example, painted metals, wood, water, leather, fabric
have high emissivity (0.9 and more) and emit more energy
than shiny surfaces and unpainted metals with emission
degree less than 0.6. Adjustment of emission value allows the
device to take this feature into account and to minimize the
measurement error.
