Life in the 21st century is marked by rapid technological development. Technology is increasingly applied to science, research, and communication. Among other things, the product of the development is the autonomy of aircraft. These include UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). To detect temperature differences in thermal radiation, it must be equipped with a thermal camera or infrared camera, also known as FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) technology. An infrared camera is a device that converts invisible thermal radiation into a visible image with a display on the screen. The thermal camera detects differences in radiation. The IR (infrared) spectrum is located in the range of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 3 x 10-6 and 12 x 10-6 m. FLIR cameras are used for military, rescue, and civilian purposes. With the help of FLIR cameras, we detect differences in thermal radiation, so they can be used in a geo-environment, which can be the result of natural or anthropological activities. Accurate route planning and maintenance, as well as the operation of the equipment and tools we operate with, are crucial for a successful flight. Before conducting a flight, it is necessary to obtain an appropriate permit to enter the airspace at the Civil Aviation Agency. Unmanned aerial vehicles for civil use are suitable for observing thermal pollution when there is less other pollution (sun, high temperatures, strong light-reflecting bodies, etc.). Good results are where there are large differences in temperatures or fluctuations in thermal radiation. Thermal measurement data can be stored as images (jpg, jpeg, etc.) or in a radiometric form allowing further editing.
