Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technique that determines surface temperature based on physical laws of
radiative transfer. Thermal imaging cameras have been used since the 1960s to determine the surface
temperature patterns of a wide range of bir... Read More about Estimating metabolic heat loss in birds and mammals by combining infrared thermography with biophysical modelling.
