NOTE:
The most popular palettes are White Hot and Black Hot, usually known as inversion. White Hot
mode is ideal for spotting targets, while Black Hot is most useful for situational reading.
NOTE:
Training and experience are required to quickly and properly interpret thermal images.
ENHANCEMENT MENU
The ENHANCEMENT menu (Figure 3-8) allows users to take advantage of advanced signal processing
algorithms to improve image quality under a variety of different thermal environments.
CONTRAST - Active Contrast Enhancement (ACE) – a digital contrast correction that allows for a smart
scene optimization based on dynamic adjustments, where a variety of contrast levels occur depending on
relative scene temperatures. The adjustment range is from -8 to +8 with a default value of 4. Lower
values will cause hotter objects to have greater contrast, and higher values will cause colder objects to
have more contrast.
SHARPNESS - Second Generation Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) – a sharpness correction that
digitally enhances the picture, significantly sharpens the image, and further reduces image noise. The
adjustment range is from -20 to +100 with a default value of 60. Lower values soften image edges. Higher
values will sharpen the image, enhance details, and further increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
