8724 Seek Thermal has launched its thermal imaging camera for the automotive aftermarket which is designed with the intention of enhancing driver awareness and increasing overall road safety.

The sensor, inside hermetically sealed housing, alerts the driver to potential hazards such as people and nearby vehicles. It uses 12 VDC input power and standard NTSC video output for compatibility with most displays.

This 320 x 240 high-resolution sensor comes with 76,800 temperature pixels for maximum image clarity and sensitivity as well as a 24-degree field of view, dual-element chalcogenide lens, optimised for identifying potential hazards. In addition, it features an IP-69 rated housing with integrated window heater to withstand harsh weather conditions.

  • Options abound for road weather sensing
    September 6, 2017
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    The latest V9360 hemispheric cameras from network video management systems supplier Vicon Industries provide high-resolution, continuous 180-degree or 360-degree coverage. An integral fisheye lens and four megapixel sensor captures a complete 360-degree view, which is delivered as two 180-degree panoramic images visually stacked on top of each other within a single video stream. All de-morphing is performed within the cameras prior to transmission, so a distortion-free image is delivered to the video manage

    It would be easy to fall into the trap of seeing machine vision as the vision-based solution for ITS and traffic, however Patrik Anderson, Director Business Development Transportation of Axis Communications, notes that many of the applications which are coming to be associated with machine vision – and, indeed, many of the characteristics, such as at-the-edge analytics and image processing – are also possible with open-standard networked video. Networked video brings a whole host of advantages, such as the

    The IP Revolution for CCTV systems which has been predicted for some years now has failed to happen, says Craig Howie, commercial director of Visimetrics Ltd. Given the many aspects of different technologies and standards involved in moving high-value, observation-critical applications into a pure digital age, this is perhaps unsurprising, he feels.
