FLIR Touch-Free Sensors Help Pedestrians Stay Safe at Crossings and Decrease the Spread of Infection
The current pandemic has highlighted the need for touch-free pedestrian sensors so we can stop using physical push-buttons. One such sensor is the FLIR TrafiOne. The TrafiOne uses thermal imaging to detect pedestrians and cyclists based on their temperature signatures, meaning it doesn’t need any natural or artificial light to function, and can provide uninterrupted, 24-hour detection of pedestrians and bicyclists.

Understanding Distance:Size Ratio
To determine how far away you can measure, you need to know the spot size ratio (SSR) of your camera. Also known as the Distance:Size ratio (D:S ratio), this ratio tells you how far you can be (Distance) from a target of a given size (Size) and still get an accurate temperature measurement.

How Far Can You Measure with a Thermal Camera?
A common question thermographers ask is “What’s the farthest target I can measure with my thermal camera?” The answer to this question is complicated, but essentially the distance you can measure depends on your camera’s resolution and field of view (FOV). A camera with a higher resolution will get you more pixels on the target you’re trying to measure, improving accuracy even from a distance. A narrow field of view—something like 6°—will magnify distant objects, again putting more pixels on distant targets.
