Nate Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Got a few nights off work so looked on flightradar24 to see if there was any departures or arrivals at the local airport(KPUW). So after an hour delay, I caught a departure. These didn't take off here a few years back before the airport remodel, so it was pretty cool seeing this even if it was still dark. I used a Helion XP50 with stream vision to my phone, then screen captured video. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 WOW, nicely done! You can see the hot water vapor leaving the engines and also the reflection on the runway. Link to comment
Nate Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks @Andy Perrin I noticed the trail but didn't catch the reflection till you mentioned it. Here's a snip from google maps, looks like during reconstruction, but can see the reflection might have been the other runway. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Nah, the reflection is normal for LWIR. You can also see it on roads under cars for example. At shallow angles, most things reflect LWIR very well, like a mirror. You can tell it's a reflection because it "follows" the plane as it takes off. Link to comment
Nate Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Oh cool, I just now notice that one that follows down the runway. I've seen reflections, but wasn't expecting this. Link to comment
Nate Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Here's right before they started to taxi. You can see the engine thrust heating the ground. engine .mp4 Link to comment
lukaszgryglicki Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Reflections inside a metal elevator are crazy, I've recorded several times with my thermal camera, you will also see secondary reflactions - it looks like you are inside a cube which has walls made of mirrors. Link to comment
Nate Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 I bet @lukaszgryglicki That would be an experience for sure Link to comment
lukaszgryglicki Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I will make a video of this and post here, gimme some time. Link to comment
lukaszgryglicki Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I've just made video with my FLIR E75, saved as *.csq file and then processed with my own program (radiometric date -> mp4 video): https://github.com/lukaszgryglicki/csqconv Command line used: LIB=libjpegbw.so RC=1 GC=1 BC=1 RLO=1 RHI=1 GLO=1 GHI=1 BLO=1 BHI=1 NA=1 INF=32 PQ=1 HINT=1 MF=16 RF='gsrainbowr(x1)*(1-(cos(x1*2*3.1415926)+1)/2)^.5' GF='gsrainbowg(x1)*(1-(cos(x1*2*3.1415926)+1)/2)^.5' BF='gsrainbowb(x1)*(1-(cos(x1*2*3.1415926)+1)/2)^.5' M=2 SR=2 csqconv FLIR1072.csq Uploaded to YT: Standard mode (rainbow): Predator mode: Link to comment
Nate Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Nice @lukaszgryglicki Pretty easy to get disoriented in there if you were a predator. Link to comment
lukaszgryglicki Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 My software is not ideal, I guess predators use more advanced tech :P Link to comment
Nate Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Software turned out great! Luckily you can see visible too so you could find your way out. Link to comment
Doug A Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 @Nate that is a spectacular video capture. Sharper than many I've seen. Love seeing the engines work. Wondering what a helicopter looks like now. @lukaszgryglickiamazing processing program. Great job. Shooting in an elevator is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing, Doug A Link to comment
Nate Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks @Doug A It's too bad the Helicopters here aren't on a set schedule like the passenger flights, but for sure keeping an eye out when they're going to fly over. Link to comment

Lack of schedule will make copters harder to capture. I'm sure you will grab one some day. Can't wait to see it. Thanks for sharing, Doug A Link to comment

Unfortunately, I know nothing about programing. Bet the pros here will use your code to make many cool photos. Thanks for sharing your work, Doug A Link to comment
