Thermal Imaging Sensor Array

A microbolometer is a specific type of bolometer used as a detector in a thermal camera.
Thermal imaging sensor array. 220 x 160 thermal imaging camera pocket sized infrared camera with real time thermal image mini ir thermal imager hti xintai ht a1 3 9 out of 5 stars 27 379 00 379. An outstanding feature of these thermal imaging arrays is that the optics are fully integrated into the sensor package. Fpas are used most commonly for imaging purposes e g. In order to obtain the thermal images easily the i2c protocol is used to get the low resolution images from the camera.
White represents the highest temperature in the scene. Using focal plane arrays of either 160x120 or 80x60 active pixels lepton easily integrates into native mobile devices and other electronics as an ir sensor or thermal imager. A staring array staring plane array focal plane array fpa or focal plane is an image sensing device consisting of an array typically rectangular of light sensing pixels at the focal plane of a lens. This ir thermal camera carries a 16x12 array of thermal sensors mlx90641 and it can detect the temperature of objects from far away with a centre area accuracy of 1 and average accuracy of 1 5.
Unlike other types of infrared detecting equipment. In order to obtain the thermal images easily the i2c protocol is used to get the low resolution images from the camera. In order to obtain the thermal images easily the i2c protocol is used to get the low resolution images from the camera. This ir thermal camera carries a 16x12 array of thermal sensors mlx90641 and it can detect the temperature of objects from far away with a centre area accuracy of 1 and average accuracy of 1 5.
This video taken with our array sensor 32x31 shows a person drying his hair and fidgeting with the dryer. The fov field of view of this camera is 110 x75 and the. Taking pictures or video imagery but can also be used for non imaging purposes such as spectrometry lidar and wave front sensing. Infrared radiation with wavelengths between 7 5 14 μm strikes the detector material heating it and thus changing its electrical resistance this resistance change is measured and processed into temperatures which can be used to create an image.
During this demo joris roels marketing manager temperature sensors gives more technical details on the thermal infrared sensor and explains its primary applications including people detection fire prevention building automation lighting control surveillance and air conditioning. Details are lost due to compression. Look here for an overview of the wide range of ir imaging sensors options pdf of table below. You can tailor the field of view fov of your system without the need for separate bulky expensive optics.
