The Thermogram

Free technical calculator

Thermal spot-size calculator

Use a known IFOV to calculate how much of the target one pixel covers, and how far away you can stand while keeping a chosen target large enough for conservative measurement.

Optics and target

Results

One-pixel footprint
3× target size
Conservative 5× target size
Maximum distance at 5×

Use native detector data

Enter the camera's native-resolution IFOV, not a value calculated from an interpolated output image. Digital enlargement makes an image smoother but does not create new detector measurements.
