Making a primitive Thermal Imaging camera

I guess nobody has tried this yet. I looked at one of my micro cameras and noticed the blue Infrared filter over the lens. So I take the plunge this weekend and take apart my older Olympus 2 MP camera.
Only problem is, it does not do video but rather only still photos.

While looking for some thermal imaging equiptment (FLIR) I happen to run across a few articles which claim to be able to convert a standard camera into a thermal imaging photography camera.

With some additional software to do image colorization it may be interesting to try during an investigation.

Please be forewarned I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS YET so use with caution and don't try it with a new or high value camera. I may find an old camera and give it a shot. Also it MUST be a CCD camera, can not be older CMos camera. If you're not sure what yours is, look up the specs on the manufacturer website.
