METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A THERMAL IMAGE IN AN IR CAMERA, AND AN IR CAMERA

摘要

A method for displaying a thermal image in an infrared (IR) thermal camera, includes, for an embodiment, registering an outdoor temperature value, registering an indoor temperature value, calculating an isotherm level by using the registered temperature values and a temperature color alarm level, imaging a surface area to create an image of the temperature distribution in at least a part of the surface area, comparing the surface area temperature in at least one image point of the thermal image to the isotherm level, adjusting the color of the at least one image point in dependence of the relation between the surface area temperature in said at least one image point and the isotherm level and displaying the colored version of the thermal image. The method may allow a user to determine immediately, on-site, if a building is well insulated and may present an easily interpreted and understandable thermal image.
