The Teledyne FLIR radiometric Boson® thermal infrared camera module is available in five additional configurations. The new models offer an 8°, 18°, 32°, 50°, or 95° horizontal field of view (FOV), are 640 x 512 resolution, and further enable the development of next-generation thermal imaging products and systems.
To streamline design and testing while minimising development costs, developers can also leverage the new Boson GUI 3.0 and its key radiometric command capabilities with the Boson thermal camera module.
Boson models feature
“The five new Boson models feature radiometric temperature measurement, meaning the cameras capture the temperature data of every pixel in every frame of a scene,” said Dan Walker, Vice President of Product Management OEM, Teledyne FLIR.
These new models offer greater flexibility and options in supporting industrial, commercial, and defence"
He adds, “Used in unmanned aerial systems, firefighting, automotive, security, surveillance, and industrial inspection products, these new models offer greater flexibility and options in supporting industrial, commercial, and defence integrators requiring high thermal image resolution within a small, lightweight, and low-power package.”
Boson GUI 3.0
The Boson GUI 3.0 provides the ability to quickly access and adjust radiometry settings, critical to high-speed integration cycles balancing schedule, cost, and performance. Optimising radiometric parameters and using spot metres and regions of interest (ROI) with real-time statistics allow for optimisation during development testing and tuning.
Extensive isotherm controls, commonly used in products for industrial inspection and emergency response UAS missions, enable the GUI to highlight objects in the scene at temperatures of interest. Data fusion, an important capability for systems using complementary sensors such as visible cameras, can be explored using the Boson GUI 3.0 external sync capability.
Image processing capabilities
All Boson thermal camera modules feature FLIR infrared video processing architecture
All Boson thermal camera modules feature FLIR infrared video processing architecture, noise reduction filters, and local-area contrast, utilising a high-sensitivity 12-micron pixel pitch detector that provides high-resolution thermal imaging in a small, lightweight, and low-power package.
The image processing capabilities accommodate industry-standard communication interfaces, including visible CMOS and USB.
Availability
The new Teledyne FLIR Boson Radiometric camera core models are available globally through Teledyne FLIR and preferred distributors.
The Boson GUI 3.0 is available for Windows 10 64-bit systems, while the predecessor Boson GUI 1.4.4, operating on 32-bit systems, remains available.
