CAMBRIDGE, England, April 13, 2006 -- Thermoteknix Systems Ltd. announced that its latest innovation in
thermal imaging will be launched in the US at the SPIE Defense &
Security Symposium in Orlando, Fla., on April 19. The Miricle 307K
incorporates the highest resolution uncooled alpha-silicon
microbolometer detector in the world's smallest camera package,
according to the company.
Measuring
just 1.5 in. cubed, its VGA resolution, ultracompact size and rugged,
environmentally protected housing are perfect for forward-looking
infrared (FLIR), ground and portable surveillance and security systems,
as well as other commercial and military applications, the company
said. The Miricle 307K joins the Thermoteknix Miricle 110K line of
uncooled miniature thermal imaging cameras where its 640 x 480, 307,
200 pixel detector with 25-micron pitch extend the scope, range and
applications of today’s fast-growing security and surveillance markets,
the company said. Offering greater detection at farther distances and
with smaller and lower cost optics, the Miricle 307K produces
outstanding imagery in total darkness, unaffected by smoke or fog.
Its
fourfold increase in pixel power over the industry standard 320 x 240
detector based cameras produces spectacular quality imaging in a
miniature camera, Thermoteknix said.
In
common with the Miricle infrared camera range, the Miricle 307K will be
available in a choice of housings including hermetically sealed, gas
purged and ruggedized for unattended field or aerial use. Flexible lens
arrangements include bayonet interchangeable and threaded mounts with
lens options from wide angle to telephoto and dual field of view
available.
The Miricle 307K will be available in fully
assembled camera units for end-users as well as a range of custom
engine and core configurations, including Thermoteknix' silent, low
profile shutter for OEM, system designers and integrators. Thermoteknix
Miricle electronics provide automatic non-uniformity correction, a
range of autogain algorithms to suit different types of terrain as well
as real-time spatial filtering and image processing for rapid feature
identification within the camera itself. A choice of digital and analog
outputs complete the package to meet application needs.
