Abstract
In thermography apparatus, a lampis modulated sinusoidally and a cameracaptures thermal images at the modulated frequency, but delayed by an adjustable preset delay. A signal delay boxis connected between a sinusoidal modulation signal function generatorand the camera. The delay box introduces a delay to the function generator signal so that the thermal image is captured after a period of time, resulting in an enhanced image.
