ChrisD Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It turns out the photo stitching software really struggles with this application but here are some more images taken with my thermal imaging camera you may enjoy. If you have any question about any of the images, camera, car etc then please feel free to ask :) First Image: Engine Bay, you get the jist but the stitching got a bit confused as it is actually many many images Second Image: Exhaust, note the center exhaust pipe may look hotter due to the difference surfaces, i.e. becuase the center pipe is more rusty it has a higher emissivity meaning it has a better ability of emitting its temperature as infrared energy meaning it looks hotter in comparison to an object of the same temperature with a low emissivity (such as shiny and polished metals) Also not the reflections apparent in some sections. Third image, outside view, the sun has been on my car all day, you can see the shadow on the car and also note some reflections. Fourth image, as third. I think they look beautiful ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
