Infrared cameras and residual light amplifiers are good at detecting larger objects. But<!-- ds_preview --> People in water are too small, especially if only their heads are visible. In digital images, these \"objects\" therefore often only take up a few pixels. The systems are not always able to reliably show whether it is an interference signal or a person.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42895\" style=\"width: 1364px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42895\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B1-BB_Seenotrettungskreuzer-bei-naechtlicher-Suchuebung_Quelle_BSH-Joern-Kallauch-Kopie-e1739225357350-300x86.jpg\" alt=\"Sea rescue vessels on a night-time search exercise.
