Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging for night vision applications

A thermal imaging is being used for a wide variety of night vision applications. You do not need any light whatsoever with thermal Imaging. Thermal Imaging allows you to see in light fog and smoke. Thermal imagers produce a crisp thermal image in practically all weather conditions.

FLIR Systems is the world leader for cameras that produce a thermal image and markets a wide variety of cameras that produce a thermal image. A thermal image is being used for a wide variety of infrared applications.

Some thermal imagers produce that produce a thermal image are fixed mounted. Other thermal imagers are mounted on a pan/tilt. Handheld thermal imagers are available. Multi-Sensor Systems, producing a thermal image and a daylight/lowlight image are also offered.

		Thermal Imaging for Maritime A camera producing a thermal image can be installed on ships. Yachts but also commercial vessels can benefit from the power of a thermal image. Thanks to a thermal image, captains can navigate safely at night. A thermal image can detect buoys, outcroppings of land, small vessels, … A thermal image can even detect small objects that go undetected by radar but can harm a vessel severely. A thermal image can complement radar.

		Thermal Imaging for Commercial Security Security professionals are using the power of a thermal image to see in the darkest of nights. A thermal image can compliment and complete a security camera network. A thermal images is providing the power to see threats invisible to the naked eye, turning night into day. A thermal image is produced from the heat energy that is around us all the time, not from reflected visible light, giving you true 24/7 thermal imaging capability without lights or illuminators.

		Thermal Imaging for Border Surveillance Thermal imaging is widely used for Homeland Security. Thanks to the ability of a thermal image to detect human-sized targets several kilometers away, a thermal image is extremely suited for border surveillance and protection. A FLIR Systems thermal image can detect human-sized targets at a distance of practically 20 kilometers away. A thermal image can help border control professionals to meet the demands they face at night and in other low-light situations. A camera that produces a thermal image can be integrated in a border security project with radars and other sensors in a so called “slew-to-cue” mode.

		Thermal Imaging for Law enforcement A thermal image is widely used by law enforcement officers worldwide. A thermal image gives them the ability to see without being seen. For this application FLIR Systems not only markets fixed mounted camera that produce a thermal image but handheld cameras that produce a thermal image as well.

		Thermal Imaging for Automotive A thermal image can be incorporated in cars, busses, trucks, trains, … for driver vision enhancement. A thermal image sees up to 5 times further than headlights. Thanks to a thermal image the driver can see pedestrians and obstacles on the road from a further distance. This way a thermal image can help to avoid deadly accidents.

		Thermal Imaging for Aviation FLIR Systems also markets cameras that produce a thermal image that have been especially developed for aviation applications. Mounted on an aircraft, a thermal image can be used for pilot vision enhancement.

		Thermal Imaging for Cores and components Thermal imaging has become increasingly popular the last years, Thanks to an increase in volume, the price of cameras that produce a thermal image has come down. Today, more and more manufacturers are interested in integrating a camera that produce a thermal image in their own product. For OEM manufacturers that want to integrate the power of a thermal image in their product, FLIR Systems markets a full range of cores that produce a thermal image. Uncooled and cooled infrared cores that produce a thermal image are available.

		Other applications for Thermal imaging There are numerous other, sometime life-saving applications for a thermal image. Firefighters are using a thermal image to locate people in smoke filled areas. Search and Rescue services try to locate people with the help of a thermal image. Any application that needs to see in total darkness, through light fog and smoke, … can benefit from the power of a thermal image. Browse through the site and discover the camera that produces a thermal image that is best suited for your thermal imaging application.
