FIG-39

  • IFOV (Instantaneous Field of View) is the smallest detail within the FOV that can be detected or seen at a set distance, the unit is rad. The formula is this:
  • IFOV = (Pixel Size) / (Lens focal length);
  • D:Stheoretical (= 1/ IFOVtheoretical) is the calculated spot size based on the pixel size of the Thermal Imager detector array and lens focal length.
  • Horizontal FOV is 15.6°, Vertical FOV is 15.6°, the IFOV is 17um/7.5mm = 2.26mrad;
  • D:Stheoretical (= 1/ IFOVtheoretical) = 440:1

PeakTech-3450-A-TrueRMS-Multimeter-and-Thermal-Imaging-Camera-
FIG-40

  • D:Smeasure (= 1/ IFOVmeasure) is the spot size needed to provide an accurate temperature measure. Typically, D:Smeasure is 2 to 3 times smaller than D:Stheoretical, which means the temperature measurement area of the target need to be 2 to 3 times larger than that determined by the calculated theoretical D:S.
