  • Earth Day 2020: Preserve and Protect with FLIR

    In honor of Earth Day, here is a look at how thermal imaging technology is transforming the way people see and study the world we live in and the valuable lessons to learn.

  • FLIR Fido X4 Receives ASTM E2520-15 Performance Certification

    The FLIR Fido® X4 premium handheld explosives trace detector (ETD) has been certified by Signature Science, LLC in accordance with the ASTM International method for Standard Practice for Measuring and Scoring Performance of Trace Explosive Chemical Detectors (ASTM E2520-15). The Fido X4 demonstrated performance that meets or exceeds the criteria for “standard of minimum performance.” The intended users of this standard are ETD developers, test laboratories, and agencies responsible for deploying effective deterrents of terrorism.

  • Study: Fused Thermal and Radar Automatic Pedestrian Detection and Braking

    FLIR Systems Inc. contracted VSI Labs to develop a proof-of-concept AEB system that fused perception data from a FLIR ADK’s ethernet-based Boson® thermal camera and a Delphi ESR 2.5 radar. The radar provided range data and the thermal camera provided object detection and classification. VSI recently conducted initial performance tests based on Euro NCAP requirements at the American Center for Mobility (ACM).

  • UK Energy Supplier Lends FLIR ONE Cameras to Customers to Help Cut Costs

    UK electricity and gas supplier Octopus Energy specializes in energy efficiency and saving customers money. In fact, they’re so serious about helping their customers be more energy efficient that they loan out FLIR ONE Pro thermal cameras completely free of charge.

  • 3 Distinguishing Features of Superior Thermal Cameras

    Several decades ago, thermal imaging sensors were primarily deployed in the government and defense sector. FLIR has been the industry leader in developing new thermal solutions designed for broader markets such as security. Today, FLIR thermal cameras have become the standard for 24-hour monitoring for critical infrastructure perimeter security and beyond.

  • FLIR Research Scientist Leads Infrared Imaging Course at UCSB

    Dr. Austin Richards, a senior research scientist at FLIR, is leading a 3-day course at the University of California Santa Barbara Extension in early February of 2020. Dr. Richards will be joined by Nicholas Högasten from FLIR, as well as other leaders from within the infrared imaging industry. Richards has worked in the science division at FLIR for over 20 years, is a named inventor on 20 US patents for the company, and is highly accomplished in the fields of infrared radiometry, thermography, and ultraviolet imaging.

  • Ghost Hunting: Professional Tips

    It’s well known amongst ghost hunters that thermal imaging is an important tool for tracking down spirits from beyond. Often times non-believers cast doubt on ghost hunters, citing technical abnormalities as the reason some see ghosts. So this Halloween, to help educate ghost hunters around the world, we wanted to highlight a few common thermal patterns and anomalies that can be mistaken for apparitions.

  • FLIR Announces ADK™ with Boson™ for Automotive Thermal Vision

    Today FLIR introduced the Automotive Development Kit (ADK) featuring our high-performance Boson thermal camera core. The ADK is an essential, cost-effective kit needed to develop next-generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) using thermal vision.

  • Visualizing Sound with the FLIR Si124: an Acoustic Imaging Camera

    Believe it or not, it’s now possible to visualize sound. The FLIR Si124 industrial acoustic imaging camera produces a precise acoustic image that is transposed in real time on top of a digital camera picture. The blended visual and sound image is presented live on screen, visually displaying ultrasonic information and allowing the user to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound.

  • Application Spotlight: Critical Asset Monitoring for Thermal Conditions

    As demand for energy production and high-volume product manufacturing increases, so does the cost of losing production time. Equipment that is crucial to running a process needs to be checked regularly for early indication of distress so that appropriate measures can be taken to avoid failure and allow maintenance crews to plan for downtime.Transformers, Turbines, Belt or conveyor systems, Bearings, Computer servers, Electronics and drives, Motors, Pumps/valves, Steel ladles, Heating units
