Thermal vision systems
Thermal vision technology operates by capturing the emissions of an electromagnetic spectrum (infrared) emitted as heat by a body or object (living or inert), making possible to observe these elements and/or create images from them.
To convert this emission of energy (heat) into an image visible by the human eye, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a warm object is captured by Germanium optics on to a cooled or un-cooled sensor, then it must be processed and transferred to a visible OLED screen visible to the human eye.
In KEOS we have an extensive knowledge in thermal vision optical systems: from design to manufacturing, we offer a complete service to develop efficient, high-quality, thermal optical systems.
Usually, thermal vision is closely related to Defense and Military sector but, nowadays, many other sectors are using these systems, as they offer multiple benefits.
- Quality control of industrial processes
- Error and failures detection in critical and strategic installations and facilities
- Mining, petrochemical and construction industry
- Civil protection and maritime rescue operations
From MWIR to LWIR:
we develop optical systems for thermal vision for different spectral ranges
With KEOS you have the possibility to develop the most efficient optical system for your thermal vision device, whatever the application or the spectral range required, pushing the state of the art when necessary. Our optical engineering team will evaluate all your requirements and project characteristics, to offer the optimal optical solution and reach your objectives.
- LWIR systems: common uncooled sensors and cooled sensors. Perfect for surveillance and electrical inspection applications. These systems are commonly used in the military and defense sector.
- MWIR systems: these systems are primarily used in rescue operations, long-range day/night surveillance operations and, also, in monitoring and control of production processes or in thermography.
Thermal vision devices and systems are a technology increasingly in use, with constant improvements both in the electronic side, as well as in the sensor and optical part. At KEOS we are constantly working to increase and expand our knowledge in optics applied to this field, to be able to apply the most innovative alternatives to the solutions we offer to our clients for the development of their optical systems for infrared applications and equipment.
