  • The Importance of Thermal Sensitivity (NETD) for Detection Accuracy

    As users continue to expand and evolve their security systems, the adaptation of thermal cameras to improve their overall situational awareness at the perimeter has been a growing trend. Because more visible camera manufacturers are introducing thermal offerings, it is important to understand what differentiates an entry level camera from a higher performing one. Those familiar with visible cameras understand that resolution and available pixels determine how well analytics will work for the necessary application. While resolution is important with thermal cameras, you also want to know what the NETD is and how this impacts the performance of the camera. In this tech note, you will learn how a thermal camera’s NETD will affect its image quality and the performance with analytics.

  • Seeing The Spread: Researchers Find How To Make Operating Rooms Safer With Help of FLIR GF343

    Ensuring the safety of surgical staff includes having high air quality in the operating room. Proper air regulation decreases the spread of air-borne infections—including COVID-19—between patients and staff. Analyzing how those infections spread is of key interest to researchers at the University of Dublin, in Ireland, who are investigating how the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in minimally invasive surgery might contribute to infection rates among doctors and surgery staff. In order to study the effect of CO2 in surgery, the researchers brought in the FLIR GF343, an optical gas imaging (OGI) camera capable of visualizing CO2. Before we dig into how or why they used this camera, though, it is important to note that the FLIR GF343 is not intended, marketed, or sold for use in the medical field or surgery. In this case, researchers used the camera to better understand the surgery setting.

  • What You Need To Know About IR Detectors - Speed

    When working with IR Detectors there are 5 main differences between cooled and uncooled detectors. We'll tackle all 5 differences in a series of webinars.

  • Leaders of the Steel Industry use FLIR GF346 Gas Detection Cameras to Detect Harmful Carbon Monoxide Gas

    Many steel companies have similar challenges tied to safety, productivity and environmental stewardship. They have the capacity to produce dozens of tonnes of crude steel annually, host operations in multiple countries, and employ tens of thousands of people—all of which can prove an challenge to safely producing hot and cold rolled coils, sheets, galvanized sheets, tubes, wire rods, construction rebars, and bearings.

  • Thermal imaging at Mach 1.4 - improving aircraft performance at the Aircraft Research Association

    Aircraft Research Association (ARA) works on innovative projects for the world’s major commercial aircraft and defence manufacturers. Using Teledyne FLIR technology, it recently set out to test a long-term theory that could make long-haul flights more efficient as countries move towards net zero.

  • Best Filtering Practices For Accurate Fired Furnace Tube Measurement

    Thermal imaging is an ideal non-contact inspection tool for tubes inside a working oil-refining furnace, but performing temperature measurement through flames is challenging. Fortunately, new filtering techniques are improving the accuracy of such measurements. 

  • Monitoring For Thermal Runaway To Prevent Fire In Electric Vehicle Battery Modules

    As the individual battery modules are connected, current will begin to flow between the components. Often, this current flow creates an increase in the temperature of the cells and/or modules. As the temperature increases, the voltage within the system will lower and result in an increase in the current, elevating the temperature even further. This cycle of increasing temperature is known as “thermal runaway”

  • Introducing Prism AI - Software for Thermal Perception Development

    Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the release of Prism AI, a software framework that provides classification, object detection, and object tracking, enabling perception engineers to quickly start integrating thermal cameras for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems.

  • FLIR Technology Used in New Night Vision System from Veoneer

    The FLIR Boson-based thermal camera, similar to the thermal technology in the FLIR Thermal Automotive Development Kit (ADK), makes its debut in Veoneer’s fourth generation Night Vision System as an option on the all-new 2021 Cadillac Escalade. The new thermal-vision system offers a wider field-of-view with four-times greater resolution compared to the previous generation, extending road coverage, improving situational awareness, and displaying a sharper image to the driver.
