Filters: CIR photography (film-based or digital) filters out blue light, which makes blue objects appear black
Shifts: Green shifts to blue, Red light to green, NIR shows as red
Actual (reflected) color of an object: Blue Green Red Near Infrared
False (shifted) color on a CIR image: Black Blue Green Red
Thermal IR (emitted) – night flying ideal for some applications
Optech thermal IR sensors cover the ranges 3-5 and 8-12 microns

Applications – Building Heat Loss Thermal IR & Lidar: Highly Compatible Sensors
Thermal Data Analysis Lidar Data Analysis
Building heat loss
Thermal IR Camera: CS-LW640
While the lidar sensor collects features and heights, the
thermal IR camera measures the relative thermal emissions,
allowing for mutliple types of analysis from one flight. In
addition, both can fly at night.

Optech Thermal IR Sensing Expanding Business Opportunities
Use of thermal IR sensors is expanding
rapidly, especially for corridor and urban
mapping applications where lidar is
commonly used
Stable sensor platforms provide business
value through integration of lidar with
cameras and optimized workflows from flight
planning to data generation
Flexible configuration options and seamless
thermal IR sensor integration is supported by
the industry’s best and only 24/7 support,
guaranteeing equipment investment value
