Thermal Camera
Thermal Mode
Adjust the signal amplification from the camera sensor to enhance temperature
dierences in an image.
Recon - Tuned to increase the contrast between the overall scene and targets. Best
for search and rescue or situational awareness use cases. Recon helps dierentiate
the scene from things like people, vehicles, or animals.
Inspect - Tuned to decrease the overall contrast so that temperature anomalies are
easier to identify in inspection use cases. This makes it easier to not only see the
anomaly, but help track the source from the heat signature.
Temp Range
Select the range of temperatures Skydio X10 will detect.
Narrow - Detects temperatures ranging from -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C)
Wide - Detects temperatures ranging from -40°F to 662°F (-40°C to 350°C)
Emissivity
The measure of how eciently an object emits thermal radiation. Adjust to match
the camera readings to the true temperature of the object.
• Higher values means the camera is more sensitive to temperature variations
• Lower values means the camera is less sensitive to temperature variations
Surfaces that are better emitters (higher emissivity) provide more reliable
temperature readings. For example, black electrical tape, rusted or oxidized
surfaces, bodies of water, or human skin all absorb and emit energy. Set your
emissivity high for these types of surfaces.
Reflective surfaces are not good emitters (low emissivity) and therefore not as
reliable to measure. Stainless steel, shiny surfaces, or reflective windows tend to
have a low emissivity. Set your emissivity low for these types of surfaces, but we
recommend gathering your reading from a higher emissivity surface whenever
possible.
Thermal Capture
Enable to capture thermal images as JPG files.
RJPG - When enabled, your drone will capture a Radiometric JPG in addition to a
standard JPG. A Radiometric JPG includes the radiometric data within the photo file.
