Those images look like monochrome versions of what you see with a FLIR thermal imaging device, except the FLIR is in full color.

The equipment repair tech at our TV network had one of these so he could see components on PC boards that were overheating.

It's got the advantage of being passive - you don't irradiate IR light from the device as in those imaging systems.

Looking at their website, I see that they have introduced an add on thermal camera for use with SmartPhones. $400 for the better version...
