Thermal imaging analysis of post-eruptive activity of Ekarma Volcano in 2010 (Kuril Islands)
The results of thermal imaging survey of Ekarma volcano (Ekarma Island, the Kuril Islands) carried out during complex expedition works in 2010 just after its eruption are represented. The methods of thermal imaging survey and some ways of thermograph processing are described. Additionally, the problems and peculiar features of creation of electronic catalogue with the heat vision images are considered. The most significant results of thermograph analysis, optimal methods of correction of the thermal imaging observations, and the quality improvement of thermal imaging survey of active volcanoes are demonstrated.
