MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING IR CAMERA

A World Class Supplier of IR Imaging Systems
ORION
MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING IR CAMERA
The ORION system is an infrared multispectral imager
capable of producing IR sub-band images at video rate
within the SW-MWIR or LWIR region. The high performance
system uses the latest state-of-the-art focal plane array
(FPA) detector technology along with real-time, large
dynamic range electronic modules.
APPLICATIONS
◆ IR signature analysis
◆ Target/background characterisation
◆ Gas detection
◆ Environmental studies
◆ Flame analysis
◆ Multicolour thermography

OPERATION
Infrared radiation from the scene under investigation is collected through a
front lens, designed to offer minimal aberration across the full IR
wavelength range.
A filter wheel is inserted between the lens and the focal plane. The rotation
of this filter wheel is driven synchronously with the FPA clocking, such that
a single image snap shot is obtained for each particular filter position.
The FPA detector is capable of capturing up to 200 frames per second,
each high quality image being captured in snap-shot mode. The integration
time is variable by software and can be different for each filter. An image is
captured for each given position of the filter wheel, providing true
multispectral imaging.
The Orion can also be used as a normal IR camera at full speed by
removing or stopping the filter wheel.
Further to image acquisition, the image data is processed by the ALTAIR
software operating under Windows 2000/XP.
