1200 x 1024 Thermal Imaging Will Change Game In Many Low Light Surveillance Applications.
1200 x 1024 Thermal Imaging Changing Game – High resolution thermal imaging with 1200 x 1024 uncooled microbolometers is going to change the game in low light security surveillance applications, significantly enhancing the potential of VCA and AI suites.
High resolution thermal imaging uses longwave infrared between 8-14µm – the images in the video linked are from Axiom Optics’ Ceres V 1280 thermal camera operating at 12µm.
According to Axiom, the use of 1280 x 1024 pixels allows higher “intrascene dynamic range applications while detecting temperature differences below 60mK”.
Radiometric measurements with absolute temperature readings are available on the Ceres T series, which feature on-board calibration packs for accurate measurement from -20 to 400C.

Obviously, Massachusetts-based Axiom is not the only player in the 1200 x 1024-pixel thermal imaging range – there’s a wave of high-resolution thermal surveillance devices coming from multiple developers.
What sets these imagers apart is the level of detail they can glean from large scenes and the improvements to VCA detection and reliability this increased detail is certain to deliver.
Looking through 1200 and 1024-pixel scenes, contrast and sharpness are other level, compared to low-res thermal imagers, in some cases they impart a sense of 3D onto complex city scenes that’s something to behold.
Given scientific thermal imagery is at 2560 x 2048 pixels, it’s impossible to imagine a future in which high resolution thermal surveillance image streams won’t play an increasingly important role in intrusion detection, video surveillance solutions, law enforcement and search and rescue applications.
