5 Thermal Imaging Companies Hiring Today

Thermal imaging is unlocking the world hidden from the naked eye.

Thermal cameras allow people to see the invisible heat radiation emitted or reflected by objects, even in very low light. In the past, military operations were the exclusive users of thermal optics, but these days thermal tech is finding use cases in science, medicine, industry, surveillance, and imaging. Specific applications see firefighters pinpointing this. the epicenter of a blaze and doctors being able to instantly screen skin temperature.

With aftermarket options already available to enable thermal imaging for your smartphone (https://www.thermal.com/compact-series.html), it’s projected that thermal optics will soon become another built-in smartphone feature. Due to this and the growing need of security application across public and private sectors, the thermal imaging market is expected to reach a market size of $7.5B by 2030.

In the world of medicine, Kernel is exploring the frontiers of the mind–a crossdisciplinary effort of neuroscientists, physicicsts, and engineers–with non-invasive mind/body/machine interfaces (mbmi) to improve and extend human cognition. Their current offering is a scifi looking helmet that scans the wearers brain with infrared. While the helmet isn’t quite as practical as a smart watch of other wearable just yet, the goal is to make brain imaging as common as tech that tracks ones heart rate.

But thermal has the potential to protect your health beyond just monitoring. Owl Autonomous Imaging is using thermal imaging to ensure pedestrian safety, especially at night. Their 3D thermal ranging solution allows vehicles to identify pedestrians, cyclists, and animals far sooner than other autonomous driving systems.

And Athena Security is bridging the gap between health and safety with their iPad temperature detection setup. The system can detect temperatures within 0.3 degrees celsius and enables the contactless screening of pedestrian traffic for up to 2000 people per hour. Whats more, the same device can be used for concealed weapons detection.
