Positive ID - DRI Calculator for Thermal Hunting Scopes

What is DRI for Thermal?

Identifying a target using thermal imaging relies on detecting heat signatures emitted by all objects. Thermal scopes and cameras capture this infrared radiation, which is invisible to the naked eye. The device translates the heat into a visible image showcasing different temperature levels, allowing the user to discern living beings or objects, often represented in varying colors or shades of grey. The contrast between the warmth of a living target and the cooler background aids in identification, even in low-visibility conditions like fog or complete darkness. This technology is pivotal for night-time surveillance, search and rescue missions, and wildlife tracking.
