Course Description
Surveillance cameras are specified for daytime and/or
nighttime performance. Proper specification and
application involves a basic understanding of the
performance differences between thermal and visible
cameras. These performance levels are mainly
determined by the imager (chip) technology employed in
the camera. This course provides fundamental
knowledge of each type of imager technology, their
application, and current and future developments

Learning Objectives
At the end of this program, participants will be able to: • Understand the benefits and limitations of thermal
imaging • Understand the different types of imagers available in
the infrared spectrum • Determine the important performance measurements
of a thermal imager • Understand what is needed to specify and apply
thermal imagers
1. Describe the fundamental sensing mechanisms of thermal imagers. 2. Compare CMOS vs. CCD visible imager chip performance. 3. Determine when thermal cameras should be specified. 4. Compare thermal imagers from visible imagers under varying light and weather conditions.

Three ranges of Thermal detectors: • SWIR: Short Wave Infrared
- 1200nm to 3000 nm (1.2-3 microns)
• MWIR: Mid-Wave Infrared - 3000 to 5000nm (3-5 microns) - Cooled thermal imagers (long range performance) wCryogenically cooled wMaintenance involved
• LWIR: Long-wave Infrared
- 7000nm to 14000nm - Uncooled thermal imagers (short to medium range) wSolid state electronics wNo Maintenance wLong term MTBF

Important Specifications of Thermal Imagers:
• Type of detector - Vox vs. aSi vs. BST for uncooled thermal imagers
• Sensitivity of detector- measured as Net delta T in mK - See 40mK to 100mK in the commercial sector
• Field of View options, not Focal Length - Focal length does not translate to the same FoV in thermal
as it does with CCD or CMOS imagers • Resolution
- 160x120 vs. 320x240 vs. 640x480 • Analog and IP versions are prevalent

Rapid Migration to 640x480 sensors
Industry Trend
Mid Format Detectors Large Format Detectors 320 x 240 Pixels 640 x 480 Pixels
Having only 76,800 pixels to capture information about the scene
Having 307,200 pixels to capture information about the scene
4x the resolution of mid format arrays. More pixels means better image quality, creating greater detection capability than mid format sensors,
which has created the move to high definition.
