Security & Surveillance White Papers & Case Studies

1. Lenses For Security Applications 10/10/2023

   Vision technologies enhance security in public areas by detecting, tracking, and identifying people and vehicles, enabling automated surveillance and alert systems based on suspicious activities.

2. Radiometric Temperature Measurements: Surface Characteristics And Atmospheric Compensation 4/26/2018

   Radiometric temperature measurements are made with radiometric thermal cameras. This white paper discusses this non-contact, non-destructive technique (NDT) that offers advantages for many surface temperature measurement applications, as well as unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

3. Development Of A 3D Thermal Image Camera System To Perform Analyses From The Air 4/23/2018

   In response to the need for recording 3D thermal images, a team at a university in Germany developed a thermal imaging/RGB system capable of delivering 3D imagery by overlapping pictures from four digital and four FLIR A65sc cameras with 25° fields of view.

4. Using Thermal Camera Cores For Reconnaissance Robots 7/18/2016

   Reconnaissance robots are controlled remotely, which allows for access into normally inaccessible sites and reduces risks for users. The FENIX from PIAP is a light reconnaissance robot designed for detecting threats, and can observe, lift, and neutralize dangerous loads, and transport sabotage equipment.

5. Solving 360° Perimeter Security 6/10/2016

   With an increase in global conflicts and threats, perimeter security and protection of critical infrastructures, borders, harbors, and other territories is vital. Xenics’ 360° surveillance system is an efficient and cost-friendly monitoring solution to keep properties safe, day and night.

6. Thermal Security Cameras Protect The Home Turf 8/25/2015

   As BYU finished a $1M+ renovation to its football field, questions arose as to how it would be secured. This case study discusses how Brigham Young University benefitted from installing FLIR’s thermal security cameras into its security systems.

7. Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Imaging For Hyperspectral And Surveillance Systems 7/18/2014

   Imaging in the short wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength band (0.9um to 2.5um) has generated much attention in recent years with new applications and mission development. Advancements in SWIR sensor and infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) technologies have been the primary drivers to growing interest in areas such as conventional surveillance imaging and other hyperspectral imaging applications. This article touches on two key applications for SWIR detection.

8. Visionary Developments In Military And Defence Surveillance 7/3/2013

   Sight is the most advanced and dominant human sense, and it is estimated that 25% of the brain is dedicated to the processing of images. The brain even prefers to ‘visualise’ problems and see information pictorially, as vision is so central to the way in which the world is perceived. By Steve Parker, PhD, and Fan Wu, PhD, RFEL

9. Airborne Infrared Hyperspectral Imager For Intelligence, Surveillance And Reconnaissance Applications 10/19/2012

   Persistent surveillance and collection of airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information is critical in today’s warfare against terrorism. High resolution imagery in visible and infrared bands provides valuable detection capabilities based on target shapes and temperatures. By Eldon Puckrin, Caroline S. Turcotte, Marc-André Gagnon, John Bastedo, Vincent Farley and Martin Chamberland

10. Application Note: Using SWIR In Intelligence, Surveillance, And Reconnaissance (ISR) Military And Security Systems 8/31/2010

    Responding to the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) has become the focus of U.S. Defense policy, and with that, the need for greater intelligence collection has moved upward in priority.
