What kind of camera was used here to make the video of the take off. Is it discarding color information to increase resolution?

- ycombinete 5y agoIt looks like a thermal camera
- DoingIsLearning 5y agoAre you sure? It looks more like some sort of Schlieren imaging setup.
- ycombinete 5y agoI’m fairly sure, it looks very similar to the cams we use in the security industry. And the colouring matches what I’d expect in a thermal cam. But I could be wrong, I’m just going on how it looks!
- MauranKilom 5y agoI don't think it's a Schlieren setup. As the article notes, they had dust/smoke being emitted by the platform to show the wind.
- miduil 5y agoThe paper says it is a 'digital camera', a dark sky could imply an ultraviolet sensor - but on second look it appears to be just an inverted grayscale image, possible near-infrared but I would assume the image modification is just for improved visibility/contrast rather than special recording techniques. Here is the image in non-inverted mode: https://imgur.com/FBsuos1 https://imgur.com/FBsuos1
- totetsu 5y agoi wonder what part of that image caused the adult content warning.
