Synopsis

The principles of airborne thermography are outlined. A general introduction to instrumentation, imaging and data correction methods is included, along with particular examples of some of the methods used. Specific applications of work done on Tay Estuary and English Channel imagery are described to illustrate some of the results which can be achieved.
