APPLICATIONS
Authentication of Currency
SWIR images of the currencies are different for different types of currency. Each has a unique SWIR image, therefore for investigating the authentication of currency a SWIR camera can be utilized. More…
Security and Surveillance
Infrared wavelengths are used for security and surveillance purposes, especially when visibility at visible wavelengths decreases under night conditions. It allows security and surveillance of sensitive areas in a cost-effective way without the use of visible light.
Driver Vision Enhancement
Active and passive infrared driver vision enhancement is used especially in low visibility driving conditions. Currently, night vision systems in luxury vehicles are offered as an option by vehicle manufacturers.
Forest Fire Detection
Since SWIR camera can provide much better imaging in fog and smoky environment compared to visible camera, the work of firefighters in the fire environment will be easier, fire extinguishing duration will be shortened and fire-fighting will be done more effectively. Using SWIR camera, forest fires that may start anywhere in the area can be detected as soon as they start. More…
Traffic Control System
Infrared systems can be used for different purposes such as general visualisation of vehicles and the road, monitoring traffic flow, visualisation of the vehicle number plate so that it can be read and visualisation of the driver’s face. Existing systems for speed detection and prevention of high speed on highways take the reflected image of the target by illuminating the target in infrared. More…
Food Inspection
In food inspection, the non-transmittance of water at SWIR wavelength is used. The moisture level of the sample to be examined or the water it contains appears dark in SWIR imaging and the freshness or robustness of the sample is understood according to the darkness ratio. By selecting the appropriate SWIR wavelengths, wounds, bruises and bruises under the peel of the fruit and vegetable are detected in the areas where the water is most intense in the sample. More…
Chemical Classification and Separation
Since the plastic material is permeable at infrared wavelength, the interior of the plastic cannot be seen by eye, but can be examined by infrared. Infrared inspection is used to detect materials such as metal and liquid remaining in plastic packaging or coating. For example, the height of liquids such as fruit juice, milk, detergent in non-transparent plastic boxes in the production line can be seen and the amount can be determined. More…
Quality Control
SWIR imaging leads to improved process quality by identifying the deficiencies or defects of the products. Process efficiency can be improved using SWIR camera. Greater precision and efficiency can be achieved by SWIR imaging. SWIR camera can also be used in applications such as detecting absence/presence of a product or the classification of the items.
Infrared Inspection of Artworks
Infrared inspection allows the target to be analysed at wavelengths different from the visible wavelengths to reveal its substrates. Possible old drawings, sketches and drafts under the visible image can be seen with infrared imaging without damaging the original image. More…
Hot Object Inspection
Thermal imaging is defined as the detection of a radiating object by an infrared sensor in the short-wave (SWIR), medium-wave (MWIR) and long-wave (LWIR) bands of the infrared spectrum. Every object with a temperature higher than absolute zero radiates. The ability to detect this radiation depends on the type of sensor used, the temperature and emissivity of the object. More…
Health
Infrared imaging is mainly used in diagnostic applications based on the determination of temperature distribution differences in the human body due to various reasons. For example, it has been widely used in the detection of infection and inflammatory conditions, burn and breast cancer cases, blood circulation system disorders, soft tissue injuries. More…
