Sensors
We provide solutions with industry leading imagery. Offering advanced features in our gimbals.
MWIR TECHNOLOGY
The medium wavelength infrared (MWIR or MIR) band (3.3-5.0 µm) offers nearly 100% transmission, with the added benefit of lower, ambient, background noise.
The MWIR region is also referred to as “thermal infrared” because radiation is emitted from the object itself and no external light source is needed to image the object.
Two major factors determine how bright an object appears to a thermal imager: the object’s temperature and its emissivity (a physical property of materials that describes how efficiently it radiates). As an object gets hotter, it radiates more energy and appears brighter to a thermal imaging system. Atmospheric obscurants cause much less scattering in the MWIR band than in the SWIR band, so cameras sensitive to these longer wavelengths are highly tolerant of smoke, dust and fog. MWIR collects the light in the 3 μm to 5 μm spectral band. MWIR cameras are employed when the primary goal is to obtain high-quality images rather than focusing on temperature measurements and mobility.
EO ELECTRO OPTICAL
An optical sensor converts light rays into electronic signals.
It measures the physical quantity of light and then translates it into a form that is readable by an instrument.
An optical sensor is generally part of a larger system that integrates a source of light, a measuring device and the optical sensor.
This is often connected to an electrical trigger.
The trigger reacts to a change in the signal within the light sensor.
An optical sensor can measure the changes from one or several light beams.
When a change occurs, the light sensor operates as a photoelectric trigger and therefore either increases or decreases the electrical output.
An optical switch enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical circuits to be switched selectively from one circuit to another.
An optical switch can operate by mechanical means or by electro-optic effects, magneto-optic effects as well as by other methods.
Optical switches are optoelectronic devices which can be integrated with integrated or discrete microelectronic circuits.
HYPER-SPECTRAL
Figuratively speaking, hyperspectral sensors collect information as a set of 'images'.
Each image represents a narrow wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum, also known as a spectral band.
These 'images' are combined to form a three-dimensional (x,y,λ) hyperspectral data cube for processing and analysis, where x and y represent two spatial dimensions of the scene, and λ represents the spectral dimension (comprising a range of wavelengths). Hyperspectral surveillance is the implementation of hyperspectral scanning technology for surveillance purposes.
Hyper-spectral imaging is particularly useful in military surveillance because of countermeasures that military entities now take to avoid airborne surveillance.
The idea that drives hyperspectral surveillance is that hyperspectral scanning draws information from such a large portion of the light spectrum that any given object should have a unique spectral signature in at least a few of the many bands that are scanned.
