Some aspects of using IR-cameras in Arctic navigation
Abstract Navigation in Arctic waters is associated with an increased risk of collision with icebergs and other ice formations. For people, these are severe weather conditions and low chances of survival in cold water if the vessel is abandoned. So according to some reports, a person can be alive in...
