Two-dimensional Scanning - Thermal Imaging<br />

The three common imaging configurations that produce infrared thermograms<br />

are (1) optomechanical scanning, (2) electronic scanning and (3) focal plane<br />

array imaging.<br />

Of the three, optomechanical scanning was the most common until the mid-<br />

I990s. Focal plane array imagers have replaced scanning imagers in most<br />

applications.<br />
