THERMAL PALETTES

User-controlled thermal palettes assign color or shading to individual pixels based

on their heat energy. Switching palettes changes the appearance of a scene and

highlights key areas of a thermal image without altering any temperature data.

Thermal imagers provide superior tactical awareness in

complete darkness and through glaring light

UNDERSTANDING THERMAL

PALETTES CONTINUED...

Most law enforcement, search and rescue,

and hunting applications focus on qualitative

thermal imaging, which looks at the relative

presence or absence of heat in a scene —rather

than focusing on numeric temperature values.

Reliable, qualitative thermal imaging hinges on

recognizing contrast between targets, objects of

interest, and their environment. Detecting body

heat is the priority and establishing thermal

palette preferences allows users to condently

pinpoint heat sources. Familiarity with an optic

and its imaging capability will be the difference-

maker in quickly apprehending a suspect, nding

discarded evidence, locating a lost hiker, or

recovering downed game.
