Target Tracking Thermal Camera——Solid Choice for UAV Surveillance
Target Tracking Thermal Camera——Solid Choice for UAV Surveillance
With a view to using target tracking function while lowering the size and weight of gimbal cameras, Unbtek's team integrated video trackers into thermal cameras, which enables the infrared sensor to do target tracking while forming thermal images. This is considered a big move for UAV and gimbal designers for night vision detections.
Meanwhile, the thermal cameras also support receiving external EO video streams to form picture-in-picture display and users could control the image switching, on-screen-display (OSD) and zooming levels via serial port commands (TTL or RS232), which could be easily realized for PID closed-loop control through MCU. Plus, we now have IR core and video tracker split version of thermal cameras that'd be largely save space for gimbal manufacturers when designing their own pod systems.
Thanks to the prospective design of the target tracking thermal cameras, a lot of users developed their gimbal systems for quite many drone market segments such as surveillance, border defense, traffic violation, anti-terrorism, helping UAVs achieve longer flight duration.
