Abstract

A method for operating a thermal imaging camera includes measuring two-dimensional temperature information including a thermal image of a setting using an infrared detector array of the thermal imaging camera, the infrared detector array including a plurality of pixels sensitive to infrared radiation. At least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information is provided. An evaluation device is used to calculate two-dimensional information about a mold formation risk. The method includes generating a mold risk map of the setting using a mold growth model and using the calculated two-dimensional temperature information, and the provided at least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information.
