1. What is Infrared Detector Resolution

That is, the number of pixels of thermal imaging. The higher resolution means more observation and temperature measurement points, thus smaller target at longer distance can be observed and measured. Usually the resolution of infrared thermal imaging ranges from 256x192, 384x288, 640x512, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, etc. With higher resolution, the cost of detector will be more.

2. Field of View (FOV)

It refers to the two-dimensional field of view of the object space observed by the optical system of infrared thermal imager. Taking the horizontal FOV as an example, assuming that the detector array size is A×B, the pixel size is d, and the lens focal length is f, then the horizontal FOV angle θ=2×acrtan (A×d/2f).

After the detector array and pixel size are selected, the field of view only changes with the focal length of the optical system: with longer focal length, the field of view will be narrower; with shorter focal length, the field of view will be wider.
