Why is it necessary to calibrate the image on a thermal imager?
Quick answer
Calibration ensures clear imaging by balancing the microbolometer’s temperature and removing flaws like stripes or ghost images.
Image calibration is essential because it balances the background temperature of the microbolometer and eliminates flaws such as vertical stripes and ghost images of previously viewed objects.
The frequency of calibration depends on the operating time of the device. The longer the thermal imager runs continuously, the less frequently calibration is needed.
