  1. Trent Patten 5780 2333 0401 472 007 trent@thermality.com.au www.thermality.com.au Thermality A revolutionary approach to detecting and surveying wildlife

  2. Background • In 1993 there was a high level of interest in the emu industry. Using infrared cameras Trent Patten was the first in Australia to candle an emu egg and develop a candling unit. This was the start of his association with Infrared equipment. • Fully qualified in thermography and surveying professionally since 2001.

  3. After Black Saturday 2009 • Recognising the devastation to native wildlife after this event Trent Patten began surveying extensively for wildlife, in particular arboreal mammals using infrared cameras. • A 6 month survey was undertaken to find the endangered Leadbeater’s possum, their numbers thought to be <1000 left in the world. • Using a variety of infrared cameras Trent was privileged to sight 4 and film 2 LBPs over that period, proving this technology has merit for some of the most difficult to locate marsupials.

  4. Capability • Our high resolution thermal camera can detect mouse size objects in complete darkness up to 40 metres away (80 metres with a telephoto lens). • We have infrared night vision video capability which is sighted on a roaming thermal cross hair detecting the hottest target, with optional laser targeting if required. • In addition to the infrared cameras we also have parabolic microphones, movement and timelapse cameras, spotlights, GPS and EPIRB equipment.

  5. Heat identified radiating from a marsupial nesting inside stag Digital image Thermograph taken at the same time

  6. Active hollow identification using high resolution infrared thermal cameras Small video clip

  7. Active hollow identification using high resolution infrared thermal cameras Small video clip

  8. Bobuck targeted using thermal camera in complete darkness

  9. Golden Whistler thermal image taken in complete darkness Golden Whistler ~25 metres away in dense foliage

  10. Thermal image showing 2 species Sugar glider emerging from hollow with brush tailed possum in upper segment of image

  11. Thermal image of Leadbeater Leadbeater’s Possum in light foliage. The first thermograph in Australia of a Leadbeater in the wild.

  12. Sugar gliders Sugar glider and hollow emitting heat Sugar glider on tree

  13. The laser can pin point a heat emitting target immediately to assist in location and identification

  14. Heat emitting targets are located and identified efficiently
