A group of researchers and students at mit have developed an intelligent radar like technology that makes it possible to see through walls to track people as they move around a development that.
Camera can see through walls.
Imagine plugging a pocket sized camera device into your smart phone and then being able to see leaky pipes or ductwork inside walls.
If you point a thermal camera at a wall it will detect heat from the wall not what s behind it.
Can thermal imaging see through walls.
Seeing through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction.
Walls are generally thick enough and insulated enough to block any infrared radiation from the other side.
Surveillance device uses wi fi to see through walls prototype stealth device can detect movement behind a thick brick wall.
That s what the seek thermal camera does.
The common misconception is that thermal camera can see heat and nothing else therefore if there is a heat source behind a wall or solid object it should pick up the heat.
Military is looking into whether it can be used in urban warfare.
No thermal cameras cannot see through walls at least not like in the movies.
However if something inside the wall causes enough of a temperature difference a thermal imager will be able to sense it on the surface of the wall.
