Thermal palette

Colour mapping

CAMCUDA WIKIUpdated 29 October 20262 min read

The visual mapping from thermal image values to grayscale or colour.

What it means

A palette maps image values to display colours. White hot, black hot and iron-style colour maps are examples found in thermal camera software.

Changing a palette changes the presentation of the image. It does not add detector pixels or establish a new temperature accuracy.

Integration note

Record the palette and image scale when sharing comparison images. Keep access to the original data for quantitative analysis.

Concept explanations are general. Use the matching product, lens, interface board and firmware documentation for the delivered configuration.

Common buying questions

Which thermal module should I choose first?

Start with the target application, resolution, interface, lens or viewing distance, expected quantity, and destination market.

Where can I download technical documents?

Use the Download Center for available drawings and diagrams, or contact CAMCUDA for model-specific packets.

Can CAMCUDA support OEM integration?

Yes. Send your host platform, enclosure limits, interface, lens requirement, and schedule through Contact / RFQ.
