I guess we have all seen police helicopters using FLIR to detect the baddies at night. They show up as white ghosts usually running straight into the arms of the police or hiding under bushes or car ports. Even cats and dogs show up as recognizable objects.
I want to know why if the system uses body heat for the detection process, people show up as complete people even if wearing hats. The body must dispense heat at different rates, does the computer fill in some blanks like a CGI game?:confused:
