False-colour thermogram of a recently-run car. Thermography is an imaging technique used to visualise heat distribution. This relies on the emission of long-wavelength infrared radiation by the object in proportion to its temperature. The radiation is detected electronically and displayed by intensity. Here,the temperatures are colour coded from blue (coolest) to white (hottest). The hottest parts of this image are the bonnet (warmed by the engine),the wheels (warmed by the brake discs) and the front of the interior. Note also the slight warmth around the boot where the side panels are thinnest | |
