Detecting air flows caused by phenomena such as heat convection is valuable in multiple scenarios, including leak identification and locating thermal updrafts for extending UAV flight duration. Unfortunately, the heat signature of these flows is often too subtle to be seen by a thermal camera. While convection also leads to fluctuations in air density and hence causes so-called schlieren – intensi...
