Build Safer, Smarter Cars with Thermal Cameras
Create the next generation of safer advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles using cost-effective Teledyne FLIR thermal cameras.
Benefits of Teledyne FLIR Thermal Cameras on ADAS and Autonomous Vehicles
SAFETY
Thermal cameras see through a wide variety of conditions including darkness, sunlight, headlight glare, shadows, and most fog 24 hours a day. They are especially good at detecting pedestrians, bicyclists, large animals, and other vulnerable road users.
SMARTER
Thermal imagery fills the performance gaps where existing vision sensors are challenged. They offer redundancy as well as complement existing visible sensors, radar, and LIDAR to improve detection and classification algorithms immediately through multispectral sensor fusion.
SECURE
Teledyne FLIR is the global leader in thermal camera quality and production for automotive, defense, industrial, and commercial uses. Teledyne FLIR produces the only US-manufactured, automotive-qualified thermal sensor that has been installed on nearly a million passenger vehicles.
FREE Teledyne FLIR Thermal Dataset for Algorithm Training
This free Teledyne FLIR ADAS Dataset provides fully annotated thermal and visible spectrum frames for the development of object detection systems using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This data was constructed to encourage research on visible + thermal sensor fusion algorithms (“RGBT”) and to empower the automotive community to create safer and more efficient ADAS and driverless vehicle systems.
Start Testing with the Teledyne FLIR ADK™
Teledyne FLIR Automotive Development Kit (ADK) offers plug-and-play installation to start testing thermal cameras for ADAS and AV development projects. It includes a 640 x 512 resolution Boson® thermal camera in a heated all-weather IP67 housing and USB, GMSL, or FPD-Link interfaces. Interested in a thermal vision enhancement system for today’s vehicles, please see PathFindIR II.
Buy the PathFindIR™ II for Today’s Vehicle Models
PathFindIR II can be installed on many of today’s vehicles and features a powerful thermal imaging system that helps you clearly see road hazards in total darkness. It detects objects that emit heat such as vehicles, people, and animals without a need for light and beyond your headlights. It provides visibility through dust, smoke, and most fog to help improve vehicle safety.
