Saturation Colors
The ends of the color palette used to display temperature extremes, for
example., a temperature greater than the palette maximum temperature and/or
a temperature lower than the palette minimum temperature.
Span
The temperature range across which the color palette (temperature scale) is
mapped.
Target
An object being thermally photographed.
Temperature Scale – The temperatures represented by the color palette
(palette temperatures).
Thermography – The use of infrared thermography whereby temperatures of
a wide variety of targets can be measured remotely and without contact. This is
accomplished by measuring the infrared energy radiating from the surface of
the target and converting this measurement to an equivalent surface
temperature.
Thermogram – An infrared image.
