    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    The strength that I see that Personal Vision Systems brings to FLIR is the IT engineering (read that as 'SDK'). IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    Making batteries smaller, more powerful, and longer lasting? :D IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    No. But you can hear and smell them. An odor intensifier technology will be developed to go with your "Wolf's Ears" ... LOL :D IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    COTI imagers as small as Aimpoint Micros have been built on 25 micron thermal cores for more than half a decade now, and we already have technology to transfer the thermal imagery in real time and via wireless comms from the COTI to small injectors that will infuse the thermal image into day...

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    Moore's Law ... like death and taxes! Heck, 50 years from now, kids will be pulling multi-band imagers the size of bottle caps as free prizes out of their boxes of Cracker Jacks (made with Soylent Green). :) IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    Hey Vic, Happy New Year! I thought you were a purist when it comes to thermographic imagery. Don't tell me that you want rainbows to distract from Ansel Adams perfection! LOL :D IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    Yes, I have Technical and Subject Matter Experts from FLIR working with my engineering teams. The small arms thermal weapon scopes for USSOCOM are at the middle tier of the advanced imaging technologies. There is an entire tier -- from FLIR -- that has double the thermal sensitivity, four...

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    It has about 1/2 the thermal resolution of the PS-24 but 3x the capture rate. IR-V P.S. There's going to be a bunch of hog, coyote and varmint shooters on $350 "thermal weapon scopes" killing $1000+ calves instead. LOL

    Compact LRASS with PED interface, yes (available). For $350, no. IR-V

    Night Vision FLIR Personal Thermal Imager for I-Phone 5

    The resolution and focus (on the FLIR for iPhone) will be comparable to what you get via the camera lens on the iPhone, with emphasis on broad field of view versus ability to resolve fine detail at distance. It's not going to transform an iPhone into a T-50/60/70/75. The PED integrated...

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    Thanks, Skypup - I prefer the wildlife (and ad-hoc encounters with them) that Alaska has to offer! ;-) No offense to residents and fans of the Windy City - I am alumnus of the University of Chicago. IR-V

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    Thermal Resolution: Native Fauna, Alaska Delta4-3, Thank you for your good words. This past weekend, I was in Alaska to participate in a cold-weather, disaster recovery, table-top (field) exercise. One of the most dramatic thermal images I captured, by random circumstance, was of a rabbit...

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    Water in the form of vapor, or as a mist or film of fine droplets, absorbs a large amount of long wave radiation directed at it. Water in solid form (ice) or liquid mass has more refractive properties with long wave radiation, but at a lower index than silica glass. The levels of refraction...

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    Delta4-3, I built this imager using an array of LWIR sensors. I realized, earlier in the year, that to gain significant improvements in image quality (from what is currently available in thermal weapons scopes for small arms), one would need to improve sensitivity below 30 mK and completely...

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    Comparison of Thermal Vision, Unaided Vision, and Night Vision Stag, Water, like silica glass, is highly opaque to thermal sensing -- both substances limit / block thermal radiation (in the wavelengths detectable by most thermal sensors) from passing through. Water will absorb, while...

    Night Vision Thermal vs NV?

    Thanks, Vic. PM didn't come through. Since the format change on these forums, my PM here has been inconsistent on receiving messages. IR-V

    Night Vision Thermal vs NV?

    Welcome, Nukes! I appreciate your interest to "look beneath the hood" -- that makes you an engineer at heart! :) IR-V
