About the PathFindIR LE

The PathFindIR LE thermal imager can give officers more time to react to road hazards than conventional headlights.  It uses the same technology that military agencies use to see at night. The FLIR PathfindIR LE provides the officer with a a 36° field-of-view lens, which provides excellent roadside awareness, even at long range.

This gives an officer a better chance of seeing criminals, pedestrians, and even animals on the roadway before they become a danger.

Due to its size, performance, cost, and high reliability, PathFindIR LE is an ideal nighttime vision camera for a Law Enforcement vehicles. First responders and other vehicles all benefit from the ability to see more and react sooner to obstacles in their path at night.

PathFindIR Close Up

The PathFindIR LE is the ideal thermal camera for officers who need a low-cost, easy-to-integrate, high-resolution, sealed thermal imager.

With a Core by Indigo VOx uncooled microbolometer, the PathFindIR LE provides unmatched image quality, contrast, and high MT BF in a compact, robust design.

The PathFindIR LE is the ideal thermal camera for officers who need a low-cost, easy-to-integrate, high-resolution, sealed thermal imager.

The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:

Detection  
1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter
Recognition  
6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter
Identification  
12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter
  
Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:

Human Detection
