Customer Reviews

Excellent for thermal imagers
The focus of this book is on thermal imagers, although occasional tidbits on visual CCD imagers appear. It also covers military equipment going back to the early days. It brings together a wealth of hard-to-find information and the author is very definitely an authority on the subject. Typos appear now and then, and parts of it are difficult to follow. But usually things are well explained, and if not, there's always the internet.

uninspired
Dreary compendium of IR info, specs and formulas. Limited insight or inspiration. The historical perspective is interesting -- does help understand how terminology evolved from scanned single detectors to staring arrays.
