Is it illegal for individuals to use thermal imaging

Can be used. Thermal imaging includes many so-called civilian fields, that is, several fields such as electric power, construction, medicine and petrochemical. Internationally, infrared thermal imaging cameras are widely used in these fields.

However, the application of infrared thermal imager in these civilian fields in China is still in its infancy, and the whole development space is still relatively large. Thermal imagers and are not part of the espionage equipment, which can also be used by the army and special forces.

In addition, thermal imagers for civilian use are also readily available. However, if it is really a special thermal imaging equipment used for espionage activities, it is difficult to say, it belongs to (4) other special espionage equipment.

What is espionage equipment.

1) Concealed eavesdropping or eavesdropping equipment;

2) Burst transceivers, one-time code books, and cipherwriting tools;

3) Electronic interception and interception equipment used to obtain intelligence;

And the use of thermal imaging can not infringe on the privacy of others, if it violates, it violates the requirements of Chinese law and needs to be criminally liable.

Civil Code of the People's Republic of China

Article 110:Natural persons enjoy rights such as the right to life, the right to body, the right to health, the right to name, the right to portraiture, the right to reputation, the right to honor, the right to privacy, and the right to marital autonomy.

Article 990:Personality rights are rights enjoyed by civil subjects, such as the rights to life, body, health, name, name, portraiture, reputation, honor, and privacy.

Article 1032:Natural persons enjoy the right to privacy. The privacy rights of others must not be infringed upon by any organization or individual by means such as espionage, invasion, leakage, or disclosure.

To put it simply, thermal imaging has two main uses: temperature measurement and night vision.

Temperature measurement is divided into two fields: human body measurement and industrial temperature measurement. In the field of human body temperature measurement, which is also a well-known field of thermal imaging, it can quickly carry out multi-person temperature measurement without affecting the normal passage of the world. Thermal imaging technology can also be applied to industrial temperature measurement fields, such as power detection, building inspection, hazardous chemical detection, etc.

Second, night vision. Thermal imaging is the use of temperature imaging, which is not affected by visible light, so it can be used for autonomous driving, outdoor observation, etc., without fear of darkness, glare, haze, etc.

Thermal imaging technology has a very wide range of application space, can be applied in all aspects of life, I believe that in the near future, thermal imaging technology can be more fully popularized and popularized.

Individuals can use thermal imaging.

Objects in nature that are higher than absolute zero (-273) are constantly emitting infrared rays. Thermal imaging converts infrared radiation from the surface of an object into a visible image through an optical system, an infrared detector chip and an electronic processing system. To put it simply, the principle of thermal imaging is to use temperature imaging to transform the invisible infrared energy emitted by an object into a visible thermal image.

The different colors on the top of the thermal image represent the different temperatures of the object being measured.

Thermal imaging has the advantages of not being affected by visible light, clear imaging for 24 hours, non-contact temperature measurement, smoke and fog, etc., and can be applied to human body temperature measurement, industrial temperature measurement, automatic driving, safety and fire protection, outdoor observation, etc.
