WHAT
IS IT ALL ABOUT?
Thermalcities.com looks at the world of thermal imagery on
behalf of ordinary people. Set up originally to show how London
looked through the lens of a thermal imaging camera, it is now being slowly revised.
The aim now is to show much more about the technology for people who do not wear a uniform. This will include much
more imagery from others, of the world around us. There will
also be much more experimental stuff: ranging
from monitor backgrounds based on the thermal images to news on
experiments with the technology by scientists and artists. |

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Thanks to the loan of a thermal imaging camera
from FLIR Systems, Thermalcities
has a large pool of decent original thermal images of to
present. Thanks also to people associated with: Canary Wharf;
Centre Point; London Zoo and Tower Hamlets Town Hall for
allowing access. Thanks are
also due to: The British National Space Centre; Horton Levi Ltd; Hot Mapping Limited
and an increasing number of other contributors who have kindly
allowed their work to be reproduced on this site and are
mentioned as appropriate on the relevant pages. |

October 09 - FIRST NEW CONTENT INSTALLED SINCE 2008- CHECK OUT
THE NEW COMPUTER MONITOR BACKGROUND PICTURES ON THE EXPERIMENTS
PAGE.
This website, which was part of the 2008 ..
as
..is now being slowly revised. The aim is for
thermalcities.com to become a generic portal and educational
site for anything and everything associated with thermal
imaging.If you
have any content to contribute, we will happily welcome your

| London's
Tower Bridge and City Hall, as captured by a
thermal imaging camera on a cold, sunny winter day.
The Sun's heat is reflected and radiated by the
buildings, whilst the cloudless sky is a cold, dark blue.
This picture, purely of detected heat, comprises several
thermal images, knitted together, to provide a
broad field of view.
To the
right
is a single thermal image of St. Paul's Cathedral, reinterpreted
in four different heat-colour spectrums, each of which reveals
something slightly different about the heat that can be
discerned. This kind of exploration, with buildings, machines,
people and images is explored much further throughout the site.
Below is a small sample of the basic 'artistic' and
'curio' thermal images captured during the several days
that FLIR Systems were kind enough to lend a camera
for.

was taken on 27 December looking west, using a temperature
spectrum that captured the buildings' silhouettes against the
fractal patterns of the clouds. |
