"Like something out of a spy movie, thermal cameras make it possible to “see”
heat by converting infrared radiation into an image. They can detect infrared
light given off by animals, vehicles, electrical equipment and even people –
leading to specialised applications in a number of industries.
Despite these applications, thermal imaging technology remains too expensive to
be used in many consumer products such as self-driving cars or smartphones.
Our team at Flinders University has been working hard to turn this technology
into something we can all use, and not just something we see in spy movies.
We’ve developed a low-cost thermal imaging lens that could be scaled up and
brought into the lives of everyday people. Our findings are published in the
journal
Advanced Optical Materials."
