Abstract: This study investigates the influence of the height from which objects of relatively constant temperature are observed in real conditions in the thermal infrared region using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The research aims to understand how different altitudes impact the accuracy and reliability of thermal measurements taken by UAVs. The findings of this study will contribute to the improvement of thermal imaging techniques and aerial surveying applications.
