The optical set-up and radiation conditions, the interaction between sensor and irradiation and the sensor itself, determine the operation of the sensor system. Simple calculations for solving these problems without any understanding of the causal relationships are not possible.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermal Infrared Sensors\u003c\/i\u003e offers a concise explanation of the basic physical and photometric fundamentals needed for the consideration of these interactions.

With this book they will be able to transform the demonstrated solutions to their own problems, find ways to match their commercial IR sensors and cameras to their measurement conditions, and to tailor and optimise sensors and set-ups to particular IR measurement problems. The basic knowledge outlined in this book will give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a thorough grounding in this
