First thermographic camera In 1929, Hungarian physicist KÃ¡lmÃ¡n Tihanyi invented the infrared-sensitive (night vision) electronic television camera for anti-aircraft defense in Britain. The first thermographic cameras developed were infrared line scanners.
Although infrared detection had been invented in the mid 1800s, its applications were limited to astronomy [3]. Around the same time that the ultrasonic sensors were being developed, new materials used for infrared sensing were being researched and applied [4].lthough infrared detection had been invented in the mid 1800s, its applications were limited to astronomy [3].
