Thermal Imaging Colour Palettes
Thermal cameras don’t actually detect colour at all as they operate outside of the range of visible light, but the thermal info is recorded and displayed in colour formats to make it easier to interpret.
The most common palette is the so-called Iron one where black represents the colder areas through red, orange and yellow the mid-range temperatures and white for the hottest points. Each images also includes a scale with the colours and the temperature ranges they denote although the digital images will allow you to take a precise temperature reading at almost pixel level.
Another common palette is the grey scale one, again with black areas being cooler and white areas showing the hottest parts. It can be harder for the human eye to detect the difference between shades of grey so it’s less commonly used for that reason but some programs do require this format.
Thermal images from our state of the art camera offer a a variety of colour palettes for your images. This allows us to provide you with your images or video footage in a palette that is familiar to you and your inspection program. So whether you prefer the detail offered by a multi colour palette, or the simplicity of the grey scale, we can offer a service to suit.
Level 3 Thermography Reporting Project – 3 Multi-Storey Residential Blocks
We supported a large thermal inspection project across three residential buildings by providing certified Level 3 thermographic reporting based on drone data collected by the client. Using a protocol we developed, they captured radiometric thermal images, which we analysed remotely to identify heat loss, glazing issues, and roof moisture indicators. This collaborative approach showcases how our clients can carry out surveys independently, while we deliver professional-grade thermographic interpretation and reporting — cost-effectively and without needing site access.

The dew point, a pivotal metric in weather prediction, marks the temperature at which air saturates upon cooling, impacting fog, dew, and precipitation likelihoods. Influenced by air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, it reveals condensation thresholds, vital for understanding weather patterns and climate shifts.
The use of drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras has revolutionized fire safety measures in solid waste landfill sites. These drones can detect temperature variations and hotspots, allowing operators to identify areas at risk of combustion and take proactive measures to prevent fires. Additionally, thermal imaging technology can detect thermal emissions and chemical and physical parameters, providing valuable data for monitoring and managing landfill sites. This technology has already shown promising results, reducing the number of fire incidents in landfill sites and minimizing environmental impact and health risks. As the technology continues to advance, drone environmental thermal imaging is expected to become an indispensable tool in solid waste landfill site management.
