I am preparing a tutorial/seminar on how night vision cameras work and how to best deploy the current consumer grade technology. Think of it as a beginner's guide to night vision.
If anyone has any ideas or questions that they think should be addressed in such a presentation please post them here. I am doing the presentation in Power Point/Video format. Once it is finished it will be posted on my web site for review and available for download free for groups to use.
I am just explaining in layman's terms how IR and UV cameras work. I want to make sure all of the common questions/mistakes get addressed without getting too technical.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Strong emphasis should be placed on the problems associated with this and the fact most consumer grade IR / UV cameras do not use proper lenses for those wavelengths. Plus consider the inability of most people to recognize how different materials react under those wavelengths and how that leads to false positives Thus my opinion is that work in this area is not "beginner" material. For those experienced in photography and have worked this area, fine. But beginners should stick to visible light until they have gained sufficient experience and have studied before going into IR / UV and giving us still more poor quality evidence.
