Long-range imaging presents challenges, especially in poor weather conditions. Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) technology enhances visibility beyond the visible spectrum. Unlike visible cameras, which struggle in fog, rain, and low-light environments, SWIR sensors provide more precise images.
NIT’s SenS 1920 SWIR camera, with Full HD resolution and ultra-low read-out noise, delivers superior performance in all conditions, making it an ideal solution for demanding applications.
Key Challenges in Long-Range Imaging
Achieving high-quality imaging over long distances requires overcoming multiple obstacles:
- Atmospheric Interference: Fog, rain, and humidity degrade visibility, scattering light and reducing image clarity.
- Detail Capture: At long distances, objects appear smaller, requiring high resolution to retain critical details.
- Variable Lighting Conditions: Changing environmental conditions can affect imaging quality, necessitating a sensor with high sensitivity and adaptability.
How SenS 1920 Solves These Issues
- High Resolution – Full HD 1920 x 1080 px @ 8µm Pixel Pitch
- High Sensitivity – Ultra-Low noise (25e- Read-Out Noise)
These features are unique in the market, offering an unmatched combination of high resolution and high sensitivity. The SenS 1920 captures fine details even at extreme distances, crucial for precise identification. Additionally, it provides clear imaging in low-visibility conditions. Therefore, it enhances target recognition for defense, surveillance, and industrial applications.
SenS 1920 is designed and manufactured by NIT in France, ensuring high-quality engineering and innovation tailored to meet the most demanding imaging requirements.
