Premier enhances thermal imaging engine for improved video quality

Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire (UK)

The new improved EYE-R640-V4 from Premier Electronics utilises 17µm pixels providing a 32% increase in picture resolution over 25µm pixels, thus providing a dramatic improvement in video quality.
Packed into a small, lightweight, low power format the thermal imaging engine is based on a 640x480 pixels ASI microbolometer detector It is tuned to the long wave infrared band together with a sensitivity now <45mK at f#1 @22°. This unit is designed to provide ultra high performance thermal imaging.

With the advanced, DSP-based platform, this engine supports powerful proprietary, fully tested, algorithms ensuring high performance in difficult visibility conditions. Easy system integration is the guide of the EYE R640 ver4. Its design supports multiple communication protocols and physical interfaces. The engine offers standard video and RS-170 outputs and video techniques such as edge enhancement, local DRC, time domain filter, NUC BPR etc. providing user flexibility in the field. Auto focus and continuous zoom further enhance the range of applications in which it can be used with the use of suitable lenses. The engine runs from a 8-28Volt rail and draws just 2.7W. It weighs 160grams, measures 41x54x48.551mm making it suitable for many small UAVs and hand held applications. This engine runs at full frame rate, works in temperatures from -40º to 60º and complies with MIL=STD 810F/461D and MIL-STD 810F.

This theram engine allows easy integration to the specific needs of OEM clients and a large diversity of military and civil applications. Software and firmware modules can be easily developed and modified to any specifications . Due to the engine’s user - friendly interface and attractive size, it can be integrated cost-effectively into small-size applications, a key marketing advantage for military applications. The Eye R640 ver4 supports the most advanced motorised lenses based on continuous zoom or dual FOV and equipped with automatic focus algorithms. The EYE-R640-V4 is a small and easy-to-use solution which can be integrated into third party systems.

The engine is perfect for a wide range of applications including security, UAVs, surveillance, fire fighting, industrial process monitoring and quality control.
