  • Making Invisible CO2 Emissions Visible with FLIR OGI

    German public-service broadcaster, ZDF, produced a documentary on the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and its pricing for the global business magazine show, makro. To do so, ZDF reporter Manfred Kessler and photographer Armin Vater needed a reliable method to demonstrate the presence of CO2, which is invisible to humans. They found the right solution with FLIR Systems, the global market leader in thermal imaging, which produces a camera specifically for visualizing CO2.

  • Historic Hurricane Season Highlights Need for Moisture Detection

    Knowing where weak points are located even before a storm hits can be invaluable to protecting a building from potentially catastrophic moisture damage before it’s too late.

  • Si124 Ultrasonic Imaging Camera Now Available Globally

    Acoustic imaging, or the ability to see ultrasonic sound, has emerged as an effective method for manufacturing and utility organizations to locate compressed air leaks or the existence of partial discharge (PD). It enables professionals to conduct more frequent predictive maintenance routines, to help provide a crucial first warning of impending electrical/mechanical failure that could lead to energy loss and even worse, downtime of critical systems.

  • Test Results: AEB Fused with Thermal Can Save Lives

    In July 2020, we returned to the track at the American Center for Mobility (ACM) to test a fused AEB system that included a thermal camera, radar, visible camera, and FLIR CNN. The tests were conducted alongside four commercially available vehicles in challenging conditions.

  • Cooled vs Uncooled Optical Gas Imaging Cameras

    In the world of optical gas imaging (OGI), there are two primary types of gas detection cameras: cooled and uncooled. Each has infrared detection technology with specific advantages and limitations that are important to understand when choosing a camera. Read on to learn how these OGI cameras work, and what applications they're best suited for.
