News Release from: Cedip Infrared Systems | Subject: Orion infra-red multispectral imaging system
Edited by the Engineeringtalk Editorial Team on 24 January 2008

Imaging system captures 200 IR images a
second

Using a continuously rotating filter wheel, synchronised with the FPA detector, the Orion captures a single snap-shot image for each filter position, enabling true multispectral imaging.

Cedip Infrared Systems has released the Orion infra-red multispectral imaging system, capable of producing IR sub-band images at video rate within the SW-MWIR or LWIR regions The Orion uses the latest focal plane array (FPA) detector technology along with a large dynamic range and real-time electronics to handle applications such as IR signature analysis, gas detection, flame analysis, environmental studies and target / background characterisation

The FPA detector is capable of capturing up to 200 high-quality images per second in snap-shot mode.

The camera integration time is software-variable and can be different for each filter.

Using a continuously rotating filter wheel, synchronised with the FPA detector, the Orion captures a single snap-shot image for each filter position, enabling true multispectral imaging.

The Orion can also be used as a standard IR camera by stopping or removing the filter wheel.

Image data is processed in real-time by the onboard Altair software that operates under the Windows 2000/XP environment.

In addition to providing live image display and comprehensive image processing, Altair includes a suite of powerful, yet easy to use software modules for camera calibration, emissivity compensation and trigger configuration. Request a free brochure from Cedip Infrared Systems ...
