At AUVSI Xponential in Orlando, Florida, Teledyne FLIR has unveiled the HADRON 640R, a camera that combines a 640×512 pixel resolution radiometric boson thermal imager and a 64 MP optical camera in a Size, Weight and Power Consumption optimised design.
As Teledyne writes, the design of this camera system has been optimised for integration with:
- unmanned aerial systems
- unmanned ground vehicles
- robotic platforms
- emerging AI applications
In these applications, extremely compact design, high battery life and long operating time are crucial. Reportedly, the Long-Wave Infrared thermal imaging camera, with a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels, provides a temperature reading for each pixel in the sensor field and can see through:
- total darkness
- smoke
- fog
- glare
Combined with the 64MP high-resolution optical visible camera, the HDRON 640R is capable of providing both thermal and visible imagery compatible with today’s on-device and edge computing processors for AI and machine learning applications, the company emphasises.
