Abstract

This paper discusses the development stages, the status, and the prospects for creating technical facilities for thermal (IR) aerial photography and techniques for using it when solving problems in the study of natural resources, such as the study of water areas and hydrocarbon deposits, monitoring the status of gas pipelines, and counting wild animals. A new digital airborne installation based on the Malakhit commercial thermal viewer is described.
