Thermal Drone Camera Looking for Abnormalities - The Full Abstract Nerd Version



Those are many of the thermal scan shots that didn’t make it into my last volcano update and I know of many subscribers that like …

  1. Once again you show the absolute breathtaking beauty of your country, if I ever get to leave this island I am stuck on Iceland is the first place I am going 👍

  2. Im thinking you can test the drone temps just by sticking a thermometer in the ground to test the heat zones on an ideal day in your garden, see if they match – a ground thermometer or 2 £3.99 Remember without those little British amateur scientists in their back gardens in 1800s, there would have been no records to debunk the current Climate scientist horror stories 😁🌋🌋🌋🇬🇧

  3. Thank you so much Gylfi…the video was confusing at first…however, once I got'' my eye in'' so to speak…it was really interesting to see the contrasting images from previous days
    Cheers from Perth Scotland😁

  4. Might be interesting to see if you can fix the temperatures/ intensity for the colour ranges – it looks like it recalibrates as you change position and uses the full range of colour across what it sees – useful in some ways, less useful in others as it’s hard to see what is normal v abnormal. Some of this might be range (the intensity of IR falling with distance (hence foreground being red) too. Good opportunity to learn before using to find real hot spots.

  5. It is interesting how terrain works, with some rocks acting as heat stores or batteries (and showing up red) mixed in with genuine and unusually high ground temperatures and venting in other areas. So the camera does exactly as you would expect, however the terrain in some cases is a difficult jigsaw to unpick. And, you have no bank of data results to compare past with current, but that will come over time, especially you visit areas of concern a number of times over a period of time. And following the phase of activity, the infra red will come in to its own (the last episodes have been fairly small, so if something bigger starts brewing, it would be very interesting to see how it looks). A brilliant piece of equipment to have for future adventures.

  6. Good evening Gylfi,

    Iceland is heating up; winter is coming.
    Could be an intrusion of heated groundwater but that usually has a cause like rising magma.

    I’m curious to see what the future will bring.

    Stay safe.

  7. This is just so awesome! Who doesn't want to know what's under the dirt??? Just amazing! I can still see you smiling! Love it! Thank you for sharing!

  8. WOW! Excellent data. i was wondering if you can extract a temperature grid from the footage? if the color scale isn't exact, especially at the edges of the video, maybe a temperature grid could be useful?

  9. Well, I'm a nerd. I watched the video three times, some pieces more ☺. Great images and I guess I see some of the difficulties of interpretation. The different surface types will all have different temperature properties, hard lave, loose stones, moss. The color pattern seem to go from blue, through green, yellow, red, whitish, whitish with black spots that look like over-saturation, but in the higher regions there seems to be little distinction. Based on the temperature meter from 4:10 on the maximum is 51.7 C, from 6:40 45.8 C en from 7:34 29.2 C, the latter region seems cooler, but my untrained eye sees no difference in the coloring. I guess any temperature over, say, 25 C (depending on the air temperature and the sun of course) could be a real hot spot, but hot, hotter or hottest is difficult to see 😉. But great footage and much to learn 👍.
