23 Feb 2009 The Gobi-384 compact infrared camera, combines a high-quality camera head including lens with on-board DSP-based control, TCP/IP and CL, intelligent real-time image correction and recognition. XenICs bases its new Gobi-384 on an uncooled microbolometer array for high-performance imaging, delivering 384 x 288 pixels on a 25 μm pixel pitch. This yields a 44 percent higher pixel count than with 320 x 240 cameras. Pixel operability is >99.9 percent. The camera covers the LWIR wavelength area 8 μm – 14 μm.
The camera works without thermo-electric cooling (TEC) and shutterless, delivering the benefit of silent and uninterrupted operation. Options with thermo-electric cooling and shutter are available as well.
Compared to competitors' offerings, the XenICs Gobi excels by its on-board, DSP-based calculating power. Image processing takes place inside the camera, using 16bit ADCs. Gobi-384 is user programmable. Gobi is also available as an OEM module. |
