Satellite monitoring systems can be used for remote monitoring of the atmosphere over a given area but they do not provide information on the state of pollution at a given time. Additional information could only be obtained after several days. Measurements from an aircraft may be obtained almost at real-time and in different geometries – vertical and horizontal. The future of this type of monitoring is remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (airplanes, helicopters and balloons tethered), equipped with telemetric monitoring.

The article presents the construction of a thermal imaging camera with low power consumption. The 80 × 80 Micro80Gen2 microbolometric array of detectors records infrared radiation in the LWIR spectral range (long infrared wave, 8–12 µm). The entire digital part of the electronic circuit has been integrated within the reprogrammable FPGA chip from the Spartan 6 family. In order to read and display thermograms, an application for the .NetFremework 3.1 platform, which implements non-uniformity correction (NUC) and image processing, is written. Due to its low cost, small size and weight, the camera can be used in various applications, e.g. in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) known as drones.
