Long-range active infrared imaging

Bosch Security Systems has announced the GVS1000 Long Range Imaging System, claimed to be the security industry's longestrange active infrared imaging system. It provides high-quality images at 1km and enables full detection, classification, recognition and identification performance in total darkness. The system has integrated day/night, pan/tilt/zoom.

517 Bosch Security Systems has announced the GVS1000 Long Range Imaging System, claimed to be the security industry's longest-range active infrared imaging system. It provides high-quality images at 1km and enables full detection, classification, recognition and identification performance in total darkness. The system has integrated day/night, pan/tilt/zoom.

The GVS1000 is equipped with advanced optics, such as an IRcorrected, long-range lens capable of x60 optical zoom with night vision capabilities beyond 1.2km. 

With a focal length of 12.5-750mm or 25-1,500mm (with double function engaged), the lens works together with the high-performance Dinion XF sensor to produce ultrahigh quality images at long distances in day and night conditions. The GVS1000 uses two sets of active infrared illuminators for both long- and medium-to-short-range night-time imaging, eliminating safety concerns commonly associated with laser-based infrared systems. Infrared illumination can be controlled manually or can be configured to turn on and off automatically using a photocell.

    Q-Free’s Andrew Lees looks at regional characteristics and technology trends in the global Weigh-In-Motion market. The principles of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) are well established. Data derived from vehicles passing over in-ground sensors can be interpreted for vehicle classification (axle counts and spacing) and positive identification (especially when linked to image capture) applications as well as to derive individual axle and gross vehicle weight (GVW).

    When Texas A&M Transportation Institute was asked to devise a temporary traveller information system for work zones, it started by asking drivers what they need. Robert Brydia explains the thinking, implementation and results. US Interstate 35 (I-35) runs roughly north–south originating in Laredo, Texas and ends 1,500 miles away in Duluth, Minnesota having passed through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. Within Texas the I-35 splits into I-35E and I-35W passing through Dallas and Fort Worth respectiv
