In cooler areas, mid-range applications are typically employed for long-wave infrared cameras, also known as Uncooled Thermal Cameras. A portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called long-wave infrared (LWIR) collects infrared radiation in the 8 to 14 m long-wave infrared (LWIR) range.
An infrared camera, also called a thermal imager, detects and quantifies an object’s infrared energy. The camera transforms the infrared data into an electronic image that depicts the measured object’s apparent surface temperature.
The global long- wave infrared (LWIR)camera market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Boson+ Longwave Infrared Thermal Camera Module from Teledyne FLIR Has Industry-Leading Sensitivity of 20 mK or Less. The most sensitive longwave infrared (LWIR) camera on the market is the Boson, which Teledyne FLIR, a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has just released.
Its thermal sensitivity is 20 millikelvin (mK) or less. It is compatible with the widely used and field-tested Boson thermal camera module, which has an industry-leading Swap.
The Boson is a drop-in upgrade that offers updated image processing to enable improved sharpness and contrast for defense and commercial applications. It has identical mechanical, electrical, and optical interfaces.
The noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDT) of the Boson’s new 640 x 512 resolution, 12-micron pixel pitch detector is 20 mike or less, providing much improved detection, recognition, and identification. Improved video latency improves seeker performance, tracking, and decision-making.
The availability to the Teledyne FLIR Technical Services team and shared Boson series interface lower development risk and accelerate time to market. The Boson is offered with a range of lens options, extensive product documentation, an easy-to-use SDK, and a user-friendly GUI. It is truly meant for integrators.
Core for a long-wave infrared camera was introduced by Teledyne DALSA. The compact and light Micro Caliber platform, designed and produced in Canada, is the product of the most recent developments achieved by Teledyne DALSA’s integration of their proprietary 12 m microbolometer pixel technology with a deep-ADC ROIC circuit. A 1,000° C intra-scene temperature range is achieved at a sub-40mK NETD thanks to this innovative ROIC architecture.
This newest shutterless model of Micro Caliber offers enhanced size, weight, and power (Swap) and continuous image collection without acoustic noise or the potential of shutter fatigue.
In applications like smaller hand-held thermal imagers (HHTI), thermal weapon sights (TWS), high integration surveillance, and small drone applications, the ability to endure high degrees of vibration or g-shock is improved.
For simpler integration, Micro Caliber comes with an M18 interface (for QVGA video format) or M24 interface (for VGA format) but no housing. The new variant has dimensions and weight that are both smaller and lighter than the conventional Micro Caliber.
It is only 21 mm x 21 mm x 12.9 mm with the lens mount and electronics boards, and it weighs only 10 grams. By doing this, Swap optimization is improved without NETD-sub 40 mike levels or image quality performance being compromised.
Due to its light weight and ability to integrate into compact imaging system designs, it is perfect for situations where every gramme counts in terms of preserving battery life. A modern chip-on-board package that provides optimal thermal integration with the best form factor is included with the shutterless Micro Caliper.
The greatest sensitivity longwave infrared (LWIR) Tau 2 camera from Teledyne FLIR, a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has been announced as the Tau 2+.
The Tau 2+ is a drop-in replacement that has the same mechanical, electrical, and optical connections as the Tau 2 but a 1.5 times greater increase in sensitivity and a completely rebuilt image processing engine to give improved sharpness and contrast.
The Tau 2+ provides better detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) performance with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDT) of less than 25 mike (milli Kelvin), which is less than half the common industry standard.
This enhanced DRI may now be utilized across numerous fields of vision (FOV) thanks to Tau’s existing wide lens options and straightforward optical interface for integrator-designed optics.
The Tau 2+ is the preferred thermal camera module for the most difficult conditions, particularly when detection of the smallest, most difficult-to-find targets across long distances is necessary.
It remains the lowest-risk, perfect thermal module for autonomous vehicles, security applications, and thermal sights thanks to improved LWIR thermal performance and industry-leading durability. The Tau 2+ has a top-of-the-line image processing technology that offers clearer thermal details in difficult situations.
new minimum resolvable temperature differences (MRTD) level, enhanced picture contrast with blacker blacks and whiter whites, and low image noise. With better contrast and crisper images, Tau 2+ is capable of resolving crucial information.
